Truth for all Time
John Calvin
Banner of Truth, 1998
90 pages
John Calvin is arguably the most influential theologian in Protestant Church history. He was instrumental in defining and propagating the biblical truths of the Reformation. Though many Christians today hold to the doctrines he championed, few have actually read his writings. This is where the relatively unknown gem, Truth for All Time, fills a needed gap. Written by a 29-year old Calvin for the ordinary person, this brief and warm outline of the Christian faith summarizes the great doctrines contained in his better known (and much longer!) Institutes of the Christian Religion. If you haven't read Calvin before, this is a wonderful way to begin. It is a perfect resource for those new to the faith, yet rich enough to instruct the most seasoned of Christians.
