David Hall identifies 10 seminal ways that Calvin's thought transformed the culture of the West, complete with a nontechnical biography of Calvin and tributes by other leaders. The Legacy of John Calvin is brief enough for popular audiences and analytical enough to provide much information in a short space. To augment the introduction to the life and thought of John Calvin, the author has included a helpful time-line of Calvin's life. - Publisher.
