John Calvin (1509–1564) was one of the most formative leaders of the Reformation. His work is characterized by his propagation of dyads such as knowing God and knowing oneself, creation and destiny, exculpation and sanctification, doctrine and order. His theology is grounded in the conviction that the Gospel is a witness to the conjunction of the Old and the New Testament, and he actively pursues the attribution and development of this dyad. Rohloff presents the reader with the life, work and legacy of this important reformer in a very readable format.
