July 10, 2009, marks the 500th anniversary of the birth of John Calvin. Over time, this Genevan s life and labors shook the West and blazed a trail for liberty around the globe, making him arguably the most important man of the last millennium. Calvin s worldview spurred Huguenot freedom-fighters to resist tyranny in France; fueled evangelistic efforts to pagan tribes; and, with Knox s aid, rekindled freedom s fire among the sturdy Scots. Moreover, his influence compelled a hardy group of Pilgrims to settle at Plymouth Rock and later drove a rag-tag band of patriots to fight for American independence. Great as a family read-aloud, this volume brings to life the pivotal moments of Calvin s life, including his sudden conversion to Christ; his unforgettable call to Geneva by William Farel; his ongoing struggle with the Libertines; and his marriage and love for his wife, Idelette. It illustrates the key elements of his theology; explains the important roles that he played as theologian, pastor, educator, and statesman; and examines the transformational impact that he had in such countries as Holland, America, and the British Isles."
