Calvin's Institutes, Abridged softcover ed.

John Calvin's Institutes has established itself as "one of the most important theological works ever written," writes Tony Lane. This abridged edition of the Institutes provides a readable and inexpensive sampler of Calvin's greatest work. Lane condensed the 1559 edition, retaining the heart of Calvin's teaching on all his major themes including, Epistemology of God in Christ; Soteriology; and divine benevolence. This translation in simple and modern English is an excellent choice for those who simply want to get acquainted with the Institutes, or for those who wish to use them for devotional material.
