Thanks for this post on the Golden book; it was one of my church's book of the month selections a few months ago. I love the account of the Catholic priest who was in charge of the off-limits "heresy library" in Rome during the Reformation. He ended up reading Calvin's Institutes and being that it is so scripture packed - the Lord used it to save this priest! I forgot which history book I read that in.

He was perhaps one of the greatest Christian scholars and intellectual the world has seen. Yet, his life was not about theological intellectualism; rather, it was about living his theology in all aspects of life. Its’ amazing to me how balanced Calvin was.

But that's a wonderful story about the Catholic priest. I believe it; the GBFTCL packs a powerful punch. Davide, Too many write Calvin off because he possessed such an amazing intellect. Very sad, indeed. I'm with you in the he is unparalleled in church history. Jim,
