"Acts of the Council of Trent with the Antidote" by John Calvin is a critique of the Council of Trent, a significant 16th-century ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church. Calvin, a central figure in the Reformation, presents a vigorous theological argument against the Council's decrees and canons, asserting that they do not align with scriptural teachings and principles of Christian faith. He meticulously dissects the proceedings and decisions of the Council, arguing that they were influenced more by political and personal interests than by genuine spiritual guidance or biblical truth.Calvin's work is notable for its rigorous analysis and its foundational role in Reformed theology. He challenges the authority of the Council by advocating for the supremacy of the Scriptures in guiding Christian doctrine and practice. By doing so, Calvin reinforces the Reformation's core tenets, including the doctrine of sola scriptura (Scripture alone) and the priesthood of all believers, emphasizing a return to the original and unadulterated teachings of Christianity as presented in the Bible.

New Translation of John Calvin's Classic Work Explores What It Means to Live the Christian Life For centuries, believers have poured over John Calvin's classic work On the Christian Life to answer a fundamental question: How should I live out my faith? Calvin suggests that understanding theology is trivial if the gospel has yet to "penetrate into the most intimate affection of the heart, take hold of the soul, and have an effect on the whole human being."Intended to help believers in all seasons of life, this concise book explores themes such as self-denial, taking up one's cross, submitting to God, enduring suffering for the sake of righteousness, and meditating on the life to come. Readers will reflect on their lives as Christians and be inspired to lean on the grace of Jesus for their salvation alone. Adapted from the 1559 edition of Institutes of the Christian Religion, On the Christian Life provides practical excerpts for readers of John Calvin.

John Calvin, the French Protestant who broke from the Roman Catholic Church was one of the greatest and most influential of Christian thinkers. He had to leave his native France to escape religious persecution, and spent the rest of his life living and working in Switzerland and Germany. The Protestants, of course, needed a clear statement for the reasons behind their break from the Pope, and Calvin became their leading and clearest spokesman. A true heir of Augustine and Paul, he successfully systematized the Protestant faith in his Institutes -- a marvel of theological completeness and clarity that served as a model for almost all succeeding theologies in the Protestant movement. Though greatly despised throughout history, Calvin's clear understanding of the message of the Bible shows his grasp of the truth of God's Word that has stood the test of time. As is true with most of God's despised saints, only the few with genuine faith will know the truth when they see it. "My sheep know my voice." BOOK TWO: Of the Knowledge of God the Redeemer, In Christ, as first manifested to the fathers under the Law, and thereafter to us under the Gospel Beveridge Translation

FULL COLOR EDITION! John Calvin lectured, preached and discipled hundreds of students in his lifetime, and millions after his death. The clarity of his thinking and the depth of his thought have provided excellent insight into the Scriptures for 500 years. We have taken, from a collection of his teachings, a group of questions and answers explaining the Apostles' Creed. While the words of the answers are the words of humans, each answer comes from Scripture and each answer includes Scripture references.The Creed was not written by the Apostles, but it summarizes the teachings of Holy Scripture as should any orthodox Christian. You do not have to believe the Creed to be saved. But if you are a Christian, you should believe its teachings. If you disagree with any of the answers, if you disagree with the creed itself, test yourself. Are you believing what you want to believe, or are you believing Scripture? Then re-assess your response to the Creed. Jean, oswa John, Calvin te bay yon diskou, te preche epi disiple dè santèn elèv nan tout lavi li, ak millioins apre lanmò li. Klè nan panse l 'yo ak pwofondè nan panse l' yo te bay bon insight nan ekri nan Liv yo pou 500 ane.Nou te pran nan yon koleksyon ansèyman l 'yon gwoup kesyon ak repons ki eksplike Kwayans Apot la.Apot yo pa te ekri Kwayans lan, men li rezime ansèyman Sentespri a.Ou pa bezwen kwè Kwayans lan dwe sove. Men, si ou se yon kretyen, ou ta dwe kwè ansèyman li yo. Si ou pa dakò ak nenpòt nan repons yo, si ou pa dakò ak kwayans nan tèt li, teste tèt ou. Èske ou kwè sa ou vle kwè, oswa ou kwè ki ekri nan Liv? Lè sa a, re-evalye repons ou a Kwayans la.

What is coveting? How can we distinguish between coveting and desire? What is the true root of wicked desire? And what is the hidden blessing which the Law brings us through this commandment? Seen as one of the most difficult commandments to understand, Thou Shalt Not Covet takes an in-depth look at the tenth commandment and its transgression, an often forgotten and generally unacknowledged sin. With astonishing clarity and applicability, Pierre Viret and John Calvin plumb the depths of this hidden sin and reveal the startling nature and diabolical foundation of coveting, and bring to light the oft-overlooked blessings brought to mankind by the giving of this commandment. Thou Shalt Not Covet is the final book in a ten-volume set of commentaries on the Ten Commandments by 16th century Reformers Pierre Viret (1511-1571) and John Calvin (1509-1564).
