WALKER W John Calvin
Christian Focus Pub 2005 1845501047 / 9781845501044 Paperback
[Number in stock: 2]
Greater than any other Reformation era figure, John Calvin stimulated the debate, thoughts and ideas that have come to dominate Western culture and society. Dedicated to teh reform of the church, and insistent on a literalistic reading of scripture, his influence radically changed the face of Protestantism and Society.
Society's abhorrence of corruption in government, and the correspondent lack of it in Western Democracies, is largely down to his work. He was the first major political thinker to model social organization on Biblical principles, one of his most important innovations being the incorporation of the church into city government. As a result, Geneva became the most important Protestant centre of Europe in the 16th Century.
Calvin's transformation of the political, social, philosophical, and cultural landscape of Europe permeates the doctrine of Presbyterian, and other Reformed churches worldwide, to this day.
Williston Walker produced this benchmark biography in 1906: it is still the best. Gripping, enlightening, and authoritative - you will learn of a man whose theological stance and political philosophy has done much to shape modern Western culture and continues to influence millions in the 21st century.
Williston Walker (1860-1922) was Titus Street Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Yale and Dean of Twentieth-Century American Church Historians. His many publications and papers are collected and filed at Yale University.

Biblical experts from the Society of Biblical Literature offer a concise, simple pronunciation guide that can be used with all major translations of the Bible. Students, teachers, preachers, public speakers, and lay readers will find pronunciation for
- All proper names and many other difficult-to-pronounce words found in the English Bible translations

When disagreement among scholars makes a definitive pronunciation impossible, the editors favor popular usage of words and remain sensitive to common, familiar pronunciations when alternatives are foreign and difficult.
This clear, essential paperback edition puts at your fingertips the preferred pronunciations of more than 7000 biblical names and terms as well as nonbiblical words that are used in biblical study.
Editor William O. Walker Jr, is dean of the Division of Humanities and Arts and professor of religion at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. Associate editors Toni Cravem and J. Andrew Dearman are, respectively, professor of Hebrew Bible at Brite Divinity School, Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, Texas, and associate professor of Old Testament at the Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Austin, Texas. The Society of Biblical Literature, under whose aegis this work was prepared, has also co-sponsored Harper's Bible Dictionary, Harper's Bible Commentary, and The HarperCollins Study Bible.
