Sundays with John

Since Dave and I are reading through Calvin's Institutes this year, Lord willing, I thought it would be helpful to reflect on Sundays over what we've read for the week. Most of this past week, we read Calvin's Prefatory letter to the King of France. In it, Calvin basically gives the King his reasons of justification for the whole Reformation. It is fascinating reading!

Any of you reading along, feel free to share favorite quotes or interesting ideas or favorite themes in the comments section. I hope we can have some dialogue here! Also, below are some Calvin references that may be of help to you.

Here is a list of audio links to various Calvin resources.

Here is the online foreward and first chapter of A Theological Guide to Calvin's Institutes by Hall and Lillback. The foreward is excellent, and written by J. I. Packer.

Here is the Calvin Blog over at Reformation21, where various theologians are blogging short, helpful notes about each reading. You can also e-mail them for their excellent and do-able reading list.

Princeton Theological Seminary also has a reading plan for this year, complete with audio resources for listening to the institutes, and accessing the Lewis/Battles translation online.

Randy has also listed some other great resources over at SomberandDull.
