John
Calvin (1509-64) was born in Noyon, sixty miles northeast of Paris.
While in college, he embraced Protestantism, and became on the the
leaders of that movement in Paris. This theologian par excellence is
best known for his Institutes of the Christian Religion,
written as a theological introduction to the Bible and a vindication
of Reformation principles. It quickly became popular among Protestants
as an able exposition of their doctrines. By the time the definitive
edition appeared in 1559, it was so altered that it was now four books
and seventy-nine chapters. Never a healthy man, Calvin died on May 27,
1564.
