Institutes of the Christian Religion

Book • 2009
John Calvin's 'Institutes of the Christian Religion' is a comprehensive systematic theology that profoundly shaped Protestant thought.

It systematically presents Calvin's understanding of Christian doctrine, covering topics such as God's sovereignty, salvation by grace through faith, and the sacraments.

The Institutes are known for their clarity, precision, and profound insights into the nature of God and humanity's relationship with Him. Calvin's emphasis on the authority of Scripture and the importance of living a life of faith has had a lasting impact on Christian theology and practice.

The work remains a significant resource for theological study and reflection.
