Description
John Calvin's influence can still be felt in the modern world. This study by Michael Mullett explores the historical importance of Calvin and his movement, placing him within the context of early 16th-century France.
The pamphlet charts Calvin's emergence as a theologian and civic leader, tracing the main lines of his theology outlined in the Institutes. It then examines the process by which his authority was established in Geneva, before evaluating the long-term impact of Calvinism on European economic development.
