But John Calvin the man has been largely ignored by historians; most of us, if we think of him at all, tend to view him as little more than the joyless tyrant of Geneva & the source of an abstract theology as forbidding as its author. This book, by an eminent historian whose career has been devoted to understanding the larger patterns of early modern European history, aims to make Calvin come alive by putting him back in his own time & understanding how he dealt with its problems. A Frenchman, an exile, & a humanist in the tradition of Erasmus, Calvin was unusually sensitive to the complexities & contradictions of later Renaissance culture. The Calvin who emerges from this eloquent study is a surprisingly human, more plausible, more ecumenical & often sympathetic figure, whose achievement was both more & less than (& at the same time quite different from) the way it has commonly been portrayed. The result is a brilliant interpretation not only of Calvin but also of the Reformation & its relationship to the movements of the Renaissance. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "This book merits a doxology. At last someone has rescued the great reformer of Geneva from the stony grayness to which he has been so wrongly consigned & has drawn an animated picture of a passionate & complex man. Bouwsma knows there is no better way to grasp the spirit of an age than to see it in the life of someone who was deeply immersed in its fiercest currents. This book is not just about Calvin or about his age, but about the intermeshing of the two. It now stands as the best biography of Calvin available." -Harvey Cox, Harvard Divinity School -- "This is a great book. It is difficult for an author to write innovatively, freshly, & creatively about a subject whose life & thought have been so thoroughly studied. Yet Bouwsma has done so. In Calvin's own writings he has discovered themes & continuities & contradictions & tensions which have never been exposed before. Future students of Calvin will be hard pressed either to ignore or refute Bouwsma's theses." -M. Howard Rienstra (deceased) Former Director, H.H. Meeter Center for Calvin Studies, Calvin College & Seminary * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: WILLIAM J. BOUWSMA is Sather Professor of History at the University of California, Berkeley.
