Calvin on the Christian Life

Glorifying and Enjoying God Forever

By: Michael Horton

Narrated by: Tim H. Dixon

John Calvin, a man adored by some and maligned by others, stands as a legendary figure in Christian history. In Calvin on the Christian Life, professor Michael Horton offers us fresh insights into the Reformer’s personal piety and practical theology by allowing Calvin to speak in his own words.

Drawing not only from his Institutes and biblical commentaries, but also from lesser-known tracts, treatises, and letters, this book will deepen your understanding of Calvin’s theology and ministry by exploring the heart of his spiritual life: confident trust and unwavering joy in the sovereign grace of God.

Amazing Scholarship

There’s a no question books in this series (no exact series but all similar on various theologians) are very technical and knowledge about the subject is somewhat necessary. It’s not light reading. But one learns a great deal about Calvin here and what he actually believed and preached. He’s gotten a lot of unnecessary flak over the years. Horton clarifies a lot of misinformation while providing new enlightenment. Excellent work.

Outstanding.

A dear pastor lead a group of us through Calvin’s Institutes many years ago when I was a very young Christian and it was a genuine blessing. Years later I went back through and read them again on my own for my devotional time and was once again reminded of Calvin’s great significance (Christ through him) in Church history. A dear pastor friend recently asked me my favorite one volume systematic theology and unhesitatingly I replied “Calvin’s Institutes” (Robert Reymond following close behind :)). Really loved this biography and hope you will as well. Thank you Dr. Horton.
