  Heavenly Worldliness — Authority: 137
  In his commentary Calvin says Luke very properly begins his Gospel with John the Baptist, just as a person who was going to speak about the daylight would commence with the dawn.

  Heidelblog — Authority: 557
  Therefore, to perceive more clearly how far the mind can proceed in any matter according to the degree of its ability, we must here set forth a distinction. This, then, is the distinction: that there is one kind of understanding of earthly things; another of heavenly. I call “earthly things” those which [...]

  The Weight of Glory — Authority: 135
  John Calvin on devising our own ‘gods’: “The pious mind does not devise for itself any kind of God, but looks alone to the one true God; nor does it feign for him any character it pleases, but is contented to have him in the character in which he manifests itself.  …But we are all alike in this, that we ...

  American Creation — Authority: 475
  In my last series of posts I have been trying to shift the frame of discussion from focusing on which people of the founding era were or were not Christian to which ideas of the founding era were or were not Christian.  I have also tried to narrow down the topic to how the ideas of the founding era helped or hindered ...

• Reformed or Not, You Can Learn from John Calvin

  
  Elect Exiles — Authority: 408
  John Calvin (1509 – 1564) is a giant in church history. He published his first edition of a systematic theology, Institutes of the Christian Religion , when he was twenty-seven. He even wrote more commentaries than John MacArthur! I think. His name probably stands at the top of the list of the magisterial ...
