Come and consider the story of John Calvin: his understanding of Christian life and spirituality have much to teach us in today’s modern world. Explore his concept of religion as thankfulness, and his conviction that the gospel is a transformative social power. See how Calvin’s emphasis on the centrality of church and sacrament can be a healthy corrective to a Christianity that today often veers into a self-absorbed individualism. Examine themes like election, the energizing role of the Holy Spirit, the relationship of the church and state, union with Christ - all surveyed with contemporary vision.
