The book opens with an illuminating sketch of medieval theology, an appreciation of Luther's breakthrough, and a comparative study of the roles of Zwingli and Calvin. The main body of the work consists of an increasingly sympathetic, and at times amusing, account of Calvin's life up to his recall to Geneva. In the process, Barth examines and evaluates the early theological writings of Calvin, especially the first edition of the Institutes.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Karl Barth</note> <subject> <topic>Calvin, Jean -- 1509-1564 -- Influencer</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Theology, Doctrinal -- History -- 16th century</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Reformed Church -- Doctrines</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">230.42092</classification> <classification authority="ddc">K18-B28</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780802806963, 0802806961</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/12012/47.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/12012/47.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2023-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071102.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
