Revd Dr David Smith starts by looking at John Calvin's life and how it shaped his thinking. Particularly focusing on the persecution of Christians in France, he describes Calvin as a 'theologian for a suffering church'. The lecture then goes on to look in particular at Calvin's well known works: The Institutes of the Christian Religion and at his biblical commentaries.
