Review :
'This collection of essays, written for the 500th anniversary of John Calvin's birth, illuminates the continuing relevance of Calvin's writings in the 21st century. Focusing on major themes, such as the call to live for the glory of God, the living image of God in creation, and the theological interpretation of Scripture and its practical relevance, Calvin Today demonstrates that although the context has changed radically, the issues of unity, ecumenism and public responsibility which shaped Calvin's thinking have powerful resonance for the modern church.' - Eddy van der Borght, VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and Editor of the Journal of Reformed Theology 'An international and ecumenical group of world-class theologians explore here from the perspectives of faith, ecumenism, and public responsibility the present significance of Calvin for Reformed theology and the future of the church. This volume demonstrates a relevance of Calvin for all Christians and offers a presentation of ignored aspects of his thought. It is a substantial work that demands attention by those concerned with the history of the church and the application of the church's faith to the contemporary world.' - William G. Rusch, Yale Divinity School, USA
