John Calvin has been the subject of widespread misunderstanding and misinterpretation. He is a figure whom other theologians either seek to capture to endorse their own, often very different, positions or whom they seek to vilify. Calvin: A Guide for the Perplexed attempts to re-situate Calvin by providing a mid-level introduction to his thought. As befits the series, special attention is given to Calvins thought, not on his character or career. The focus here is not only on Calvins theological positions, but also on the philosophy intertwined within them, the significance of which is often overlooked.
