The work, after first setting Calvin's life in its social and cultural context, traces the development of his theology through the successive editions of his seminal work, the Institutes of the Christian Religion.

Excellent Outline of Calvin's Thought,
This review is from: Calvin: Origins and Development of His Religious Thought (Paperback)
I had read significant portions of Calvin's Institutes before I encountered Wendel but I still found his analysis of Calvin extremely helpful. Wendel is fair and sympathetic to Calvin, but not afraid to point out some of the idiosyncracies in his thought. Thus Calvin is described as being "Christocentric" in orientation, but Wendel concedes that Calvin's christology takes on unusual hues as the Genevan grapples with the nature of the physicality of the resurrected Christ.
