A thousand pages later, and I've finally finished reading the most important book I've ever read. From the state of man, to the concept of wisdom, to the causes and effects of salvation, to civil government, to the separation of church and state, to the concept of prayer, to the sovereignty of God, this book blew my mind and my Christian walk will never be the same. I seriously wonder why I waited so long to read it, and I give it the highest recommendation.

Review 4 for Institutes of the Christian Religion

I MADE IT! I have actually read my way through Calvin's Institutes. A few days later, I heard that John Piper had never accomplished the feat! As one whose reformed theology is blossoming, I determined to read what Calvin had to say for himself, since my knowledge of Calvinism had been completely secondhand. This is a slow, difficult, and sometimes confusing read, but it is well worth the disciplined effort to make it through this massive text. Although I still struggle to support some of the traditional tenets of Calvinism, I am at least better informed now and feel as if I know the great reformer better.

Your right!! irresistible price. But more important more a great addition of this classic.No one in vocational ministry should be without it in ones library. Be you 100% agree with Calvin or not, this work is foundational in theological studies. This version was put together nicely.

Excellent price, and excellent book. I got this as a bonus when I ordered Calvin's 23 Volume Commentary set, and it is wonderful.

I ordered this product recently because the price was to good to pass up. I got it under the "slightly imperfect" section. The product came faster than scheduled and in great condition. Christianbook continues to make furthering my understanding affordable and reasonable. Thanks!

This is a volume that is not to be read, it needs to be studied. So many changes from then to now are errors. The gold standard by which to evaluate where you should be.

This is an excellent production. Beveridge's translation is 19th century but valuable. I was surprised that Hendrickson had gone to the expense of resetting the entire work and yet kept the price very reasonable. Not my first Institutes, but I'm glad I bought it.

The original reformed systematic theology in a handy one-volume edition. Everyone who is serious about their faith would be remiss if the absence of Calvin's Institutes has occurred in their reading program!

A great deal on a classic book. For those interested in theology, it's a must for the personal library. Since the book was tranlsated 150 years ago in England, the text is not always the easiest to read, since we're not accustomed to that style of writing or speaking. If takes more time to wade through, but the content is good.

I should like to compliment Hendrikson for yet another job well done. This is a fine volume, nicely typeset and less intimidating than the Battles translation. Those of us who love books owe a debt of gratitude to the publishers.
