"A welcome addition to the Cambridge Companion series."
- Theology Today
"...a much needed resource for students and researchers."
- SEL: Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900
"In the spirit of the highly successful Cambridge Companion series, this volume provides a stimulating introduction to the life, work, and legacy of the reformer John Calvin."
Amy C. Graves, Renaissance Quarterly
"This Companion is a worthy addition to the library of anyone interested in Calvin and his impact, and a valuable addition to any church library." - Presbyterian History
"In the recent past, The Cambridge Companion series has produced a bevy of helpful undergraduate-level textbooks which also serve as first port of call for more serious academic inquiry, ranging from the history of jazz, to Arabic philosophy, and now to John Calvin: a quintessential sixteenth-century reformer whos scope of influence--both then and now--simply transcends that of Geneva and the Francophone world...The Cambridge Companion to John Calvin is a welcome addition both to the Cambridge Companion series itself and to Calvin studies in general." Sixteenth Century Journal Paul C.H. Lim, Gorden-Conwell Theological Seminary
