Calvin's Institutes: Introduction

If you’ve ever looked at John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion and thought, “I know this matters—but I have no idea how to read all of it,” this year-long journey exists for you. In this opening episode, we introduce Calvin’s Institutes, the historical moment that gave rise to the work, and the purpose behind reading it slowly, carefully, and together. What began as a modest handbook written in exile became one of the most influential theological works in Christian history, designed not merely to inform the mind but to form believers who live coram Deo—before the face of God.Readings: John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion — IntroductionExplore the Project:Through the Church Fathers – https://www.throughthechurchfathers.comPatreon – https://www.patreon.com/cmichaelpattonCredo Courses – https://www.credocourses.comCredo Ministries – https://www.credoministries.org
