About this listen

Delve into John Calvins groundbreaking work, Institutes of the Christian Religion, a cornerstone of Protestant systematic theology that continues to shape theological discussions today. Originally published in Latin in 1536 and later in French in 1541, with definitive editions released in 1559 and 1560, this influential text serves as an essential guide for those seeking to understand the Protestant faith. Calvin addresses a wide array of theological topics, from church doctrine and sacraments to the concept of justification by faith alone and the nature of Christian liberty. He passionately critiques what he viewed as unorthodox teachings, particularly those of Roman Catholicism, which he had fervently embraced before his own conversion. Central to Calvins message is the profound theme of Gods absolute sovereignty, particularly concerning salvation and election. Book Three offers a detailed exploration of the Third Part of the Apostles’ Creed, focusing on how we obtain Christs grace, the benefits it provides, and the transformative effects of the Holy Spirit in our salvation.
