Title: A Classic in Christian Theology
Review: John Calvin's "Institutes of the Christian Religion" is a monumental work in Protestant theology. Paul L. Lehmann, Th.D., late theology professor at Union Theological Seminary, based his introductory course in systematic theology on Calvin's work back in 1973 when I took it. Calvin divides his effort into four books, "The Knowledge of God the Creator," "The Knowledge God the Redeemer in Jesus Christ," "The Way in Which We Receive the Grace of Christ" and "The External Means or Aids by Which God Invites Us Into the Society of Christ and Holds Us Therein." I recommend this book to the theological student and pastor as well as to the layperson who wishes to do serious reading in the academic field of theology.In my 36 years in the ministry, I have been helped time and time again by this great work.Mercury Man from White Plains, Westchester County, New York
