Crossway’s new book, “John Calvin for a New Reformation,” edited by Derek Thomas and John Tweeddale, has arrived. It is a handsome 600-page book—and one of the best volumes on Calvin I have ever read. The first seven chapters flesh out Calvin’s life and work (contributors include Michael Haykin, Stephen Nichols, David Calhoun, Doug Kelly, Bob Godfrey, Steve Lawson, and Derek Thomas), and the last thirteen chapters address his theology (contributors include Scott Oliphint, John Fesko, Burk Parsons, Guy Waters, Paul Wells, Ted Donnelly, Paul Helm, John Tweeddale, Keith Mathison, Bob Peterson, Cornel Venema, and me). I was privileged to be assigned the chapter of Calvin on the Holy Spirit. If you are interested in Calvin and his teaching, this is an excellent book for you to read.
