The translator has done a truly excellent job of putting Calvin's work into a very readable English format. If you have ever wanted to read Calvin, here is your chance. Frankly, one might compare the study of Calvin to the opportunity to either sit with Christ on the mount or later to hear Matthew retell the story. Why go to a secondary source when Calvin is so easy to understand and so readily available in this edition? These pages bring Calvin right into your living room, where you learn the reformed faith first hand. To sum it up: Pastor, student, or layman, if you don't have this work in your study collection, such a collection is incomplete. Complete enough to suit the demands of the scholar, written so the average layman can understand, here is John Calvin. This is a terrific tool in understanding our Reformed faith from the very father of the reformation that led to the Presbyterian Church.

1.0 out of 5 stars
This version is just a reprint; not worth the money!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Institutes of the Christian Religion, Vol. 1 (Hardcover)
Please do not be fooled to think that this Volume 1 of Calvin's Institutes is a new translation or otherwise a brand new edition, although the publication date is listed as September 2002. It is merely a reprint of the old translation by Henry Beveridge! It is much cheaper to purchase the edition of Henry Beveridge's translation published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. (ISBN 0802881661), which combines Volumes 1 and 2 into one book at a fraction of the cost of just this one volume. You will get the same translation at a much lower cost.
