The Starting Point of Calvin's Theology

by Tavard, George H

"This volume introduces readers to Calvin's little-known Psychopannychia, showing how this early, generally neglected book serves as the essential starting point for understanding Calvin's entry into the Reformed way of thought that he transmitted to posterity.". "The only study of Psychopannychia in English, Tavard's work contributes to a historical understanding of Calvin's thought and, just as important, helps demonstrate the "catholic" scope of his reforming intentions. These twin concerns will make this volume equally valuable to students of theology, church history, and contemporary ecumenical dialogue."--BOOK JACKET.
