Über diesen Titel

 At the forefront of Calvins writings is his monumental dogmatic treatise, the Institutes of the Christian Religion. This book is truly the culmination of his lifes work, marking the first publication after he dedicated himself to God. Over nearly twenty-five years, from its initial release in 1536 to its definitive edition in 1559, Calvin tirelessly revised and expanded this text, transforming it from a simple handbook into a comprehensive and organized theology textbook. Its significance to the Protestant movement cannot be overstated; it was a pivotal moment in history that provided a solid foundation for Protestantism, offering a clear and positive program for the Reformation. Esteemed by historians as perhaps the most influential work of dogmatics from the Reformation era, the Institutes serves not only as a theological resource but also as an ethical guide and a defense for believers. Calvins focus was on the future of the Church, seeking to reconstruct and strengthen it. Its enduring impact on Protestant theology and evangelical thought makes the Institutes a timeless masterpiece, retaining its status as the most significant dogmatic treatise even after centuries. - Summary by Benjamin B Warfield
