John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion stands like a majestic castle in the history of the Protestant Reformed tradition. Many Christians, intimidated by its size and scope, stand outside its gates, honoring it from a distance and wondering what lies inside. Here is an opportunity to wonder no more! Read, feast and rejoice!
