Description

Volume two of Calvin's Institutes carries his system forward from Christ the Redeemer through the work of the Holy Spirit to the church and its sacraments. Where the first volume founded the doctrine of God and Scripture, this one asks how salvation reaches actual people. Prayer, providence, and the Christian life receive extended treatment.

Calvin explains the church's ministry, baptism, and the Lord's Supper, and closes with civil government and the hope of resurrection. His famous teachings stand in argued form, not slogans. Together the two volumes form Protestantism's most influential theological work, still read by students tracing how Reformed belief was built.
