Calvin's Theology of Piety in the Institutes

Theology

“In a time when spirituality is in and religion is out, this vital work calls us to ground Christian spirituality in robust Christian doctrine. Written in very accessible prose, the author explores five major spheres in Calvin’s Institutes—Epistemic foundations, Union with Christ and the Holy Spirit, Reaping fruits from the Law, Calvin’s trinitarian ground of prayer, and the Church as the ministerial vehicle of grace—and draws from a wealth of primary and secondary sources to illumine each topic. I most highly recommend it.”
