Learn a bit about John Calvin (1509 - 1564)

For those who usually only believe a lot of nonsense about John Calvin and listen to a bunch of naysayers about Calvin, maybe you should listen to these audio lectures to become better acquainted with John Calvin, the theologian of the Reformation.

2009 is the 500th birthday of John Calvin, so make time to get to know him this year.

Calvin Quincentenary

"The Calvin Quincentenary is an international, interdenominational, and interdisciplinary commemoration of the life and work of John Calvin (b. 1509), which left such an indelible impression on the modern world. Climaxing with conferences in multiple locations in 2009, this celebration combines history, spirituality, and culture to recall appropriately the life and work of the Genevan Reformer.

"Esteemed leaders, scholars, and ministers will serve as your guides to learning about this influential man, his vibrant city, and the cultural, religious, political, and economic impact flowing from a movement. This multi-faceted approach seeks to introduce many people to one of the most important thinkers in history."
