Acerca de esta escucha

Institutes of the Christian Religion is John Calvin's seminal work on Protestant systematic theology. Highly influential in the Western world and still widely read by theological students today, it was published in Latin in 1536 and in his native French in 1541. The book serves as an introductory textbook on the Protestant faith for those with some previous knowledge of theology and covers a broad range of theological topics from the doctrines of church and sacraments to justification by faith alone and Christian liberty. It vigorously attacks teachings which Calvin considered unorthodox, particularly Roman Catholicism to which Calvin says he had been "strongly devoted" before his conversion to Protestantism. The overarching theme of the book - and Calvin's greatest theological legacy - is the idea of God's total sovereignty, particularly in salvation and election. Institutes of the Christian Religion is highly-regarded as a secondary reference for the system of doctrine adopted by the Reformed churches, which is commonly referred to as Calvinism.

A couple people who heard it, as well as myself, thought it sounded like a robot speaking. It didn't take long to get used to, though. Very helpful stuff!

Quite a Blessing

Wow—can’t believe I finished this! A fascinating listen, but I wish you had used a more modern translation. There’s probably close to 500 English words in there that I’ve never heard before. Still glad I did it.

Got Time??

Jean Calvin's magnum opus, 'The Institutes' fills four volumes with thorough treatises on God, Man, and the Church.

Although Calvin has a very mixed reputation amongst believers, this work is a valuable piece of literature for all, expansive in its scope and carefully reasoned, and offering insight into the surprising depth and breadth of thought within medieval Christianity. Calvin's scholarship is apparent as he covers various topics, quoting copiously not only from the Bible, but also a multitude of church fathers(admittedly favoring Augustine but quoting many others).

Even if you don't share his beliefs, you will no doubt find knowledge to consider in Calvin's work.

This study into the scriptual beliefs of Christians is done with Calvin's teacher's heart. Every bit of it out lined which allora for anyone doing a study quick access to early church teachings and then all summarized at the end.

Calvin puts us in touch with the brillance of Augustine, Ignacious and many heros and contrarary vocies early church.

Calvin visits those practices that were added by the catholic church and does a great job of bringing the scripture to shine onto those practices.

Calvin dicusses the autority and direction of catholic heirarchy and discusses the sacraments

i dont agree with all his conclusions but he does a through job of addressing many sides of the argument

John Calvin thank you

There's no doubt that John Calvin understood the tenets of the Christian faith, and his exegesis of the scripture leaves very little doubt to the fact of his conclusions about its practice. I recommend this book to all Christians, especially to those who have had a tug in their hearts about teachings about Catholicism and other denominations that have let their fleshly understanding and religiosity take preeminence over the clear word of God and its simplicity. Reading the Bible would never be the same after reading this.

Calvin was a deep thinker. I believe he was mistaken about the election and predestination and freewill, but he was right about a lot of ideas. I'm thankful he wrote this book and for audible book reading.

Great thinking of long ago.

It’s long but it should be - this book was used to change the world. My faith was strengthen and I was deeply encouraged by how God raises up his men for such appointed times!

Worth the effort!

Great book. One of the most important to read. But even so —
Needs an updated translation. The reader is too flat.

Great book

The great John Calvin explains biblical doctrines and shows why Luther, Himself and the others stood firm against the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. At the same time he stresses the need for the Christian to do all things in love. Taking into account the overall betterment of those around you including your adversaries. Definitely worth listening to. As a matter of fact, I've now purchased the hard copy book :)

excellent

You can see the Calvin had trained as a lawyer by his arguments. He is clear, brings to bear lots of evidence, and makes sure to refute all the counter arguments. If you were not already aware you may notice the heavy reliance for important doctrinal points on the books of Isiah and John primarily. They are both often quoted in the text, and given the overall length of the work, that works out to a great number of quotations. I see his point, at times, was to try and reconcile the irreconcilable. Modern scholarship has moved away from the idea of single divinely inspired authors so there are points where the Bible is inconsistent. I do think Calvin does a marvelous job trying to make sense of it all. I also appreciate his references back to Greek sources, and he appears to have some familiarity with Biblical Greek. It's an interesting creation. It felt, at times, repetitive, and I think that partly comes from the thoroughness of the work. Given its length, I don't recommend this to the average reader -- you have to really want to read this book.

You can tell Calvin was a lawyer
