JOHN CALVIN
A pilgrim’s life
By Herman J. Selderhuis. IVP. 288 pages. £9.99
ISBN 978-1-84474-375-9

‘John Calvin’! The name is sufficient to agitate many with a sense of horror.

But this book, attractively translated from the Dutch, will do much to dispel prejudice, and calm those who have been fed on disinformation about the man who did more than any other to establish the Protestant Reformation on the basis of scriptural truth.
