The Theology of John Calvin: Free Lectures

If Martin Luther was the catalyst of the Protestant Reformation, John Calvin was its consolidator. Calvin was both a commentator and also a systematic theologian. J. I. Packer has rightly appraised Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion (1536-1559) as "one of the wonders of the spiritual world--the world of doxology and devotion, of discipleship and discipline, of Word-through-Spirit illumination and transformation of individuals, of the Christ-centered mind and the Christ-honoring heart." In the thirteen lectures below, historical theologian and pastor Mark Sarver, provides a sketch of Calvin's life and labors as well as a survey of some of Calvin's greatest theological contributions. These lectures constitute a portion of the lecture material for Reformed Baptist Seminary's course "Reformation Church." For more information about taking the course for credit or just auditing the lectures, contact us directly.
