"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."
