CHS Institutes of the Christian Religion:Ā Book 2
Calvin'sĀ Institutes of the Christian ReligionĀ is one of the most important and straightforward works of theology ever written, yet so few people actually read it.
TheĀ Christian Heritage SeriesĀ presents all four books of the Institutes in complete, unabridged, easy-to-read volumes. John Calvin certainly writes good theology, but he also writes with beauty and clarityāand both these aspects are captured in Beveridgeās translation. Calvin is concerned that readers not be puffed up with new knowledge, rather he wants us to be drawn to the majesty and holiness of God in order to know our sin and our need for grace. Read this classic to grow closer to God.
āThe Word of God leaves no half life to man, but teaches, that, in regard to life and happiness, he has utterly perished. Paul, when he speaks of our redemption, says not that the half dead are cured (Eph. 2:5, 6; 5:14) but that those who were dead are raised up.āĀ ~From Book IIĀ of the Institutes
Book 2 of theĀ InstitutesĀ is about the knowledge of God the redeemerāJesus Christ. Calvin captures the completeness of our redemption, explaining the depths of our sinfulness and the ways that Jesus Christ is present in both the old and new covenants. The law is a picture of Christās righteousness, and the gospel is the declaration of Christās redemption of us. Whether heās unpacking the ten commandments or describing Christ as prophet, priest, and king, Calvin makes Jesus and his work on the cross the center of our theology.
