Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book 2
by John Calvin
'Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book 2' Summary
In *Institutes of the Christian Religion*, Book 2, John Calvin continues his systematic exploration of the Protestant faith. Building upon the foundational principles laid out in Book 1, Calvin dives into the concept of God as Redeemer, highlighting the central role of Christ in salvation. He argues that humanity's fallen state necessitates a mediator to bridge the gap between God and humankind, and that this mediator is none other than Jesus Christ. Calvin elaborates on the nature of Christ's sacrifice, its implications for the believer's relationship with God, and the transformative power of God's grace. He also addresses the intricate doctrine of predestination, emphasizing God's absolute sovereignty in choosing who will be saved. Throughout the book, Calvin's rigorous analysis and deeply rooted belief in God's authority provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the Protestant understanding of salvation and the relationship between God and humanity.Book Details
