The Second Golden Rule

By: Wendell Calvin Hatch

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Almost everyone has heard of the Golden Rule. Nearly everyone can quote it reasonably well. However, there are significant pieces of inspiring information, sent directly from our Savior Jesus Christ, still waiting to be uncovered with his words. Thus the review of the Golden Rule is an appropriate place to begin our scriptural chase of discovery. The second subject discussed is truth. We are each deeply immersed in our own search for truth. Identifying truth and then applying it in our lives are two essential ingredients in our efforts to find happiness and purpose for our daily experiences. The third chapter presents discovery of the second Golden Rule. Here we encounter an unusual principle and its direct connection within the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The remaining chapters explore several practical applications of the second Golden Rule. Jesus used parables to illustrate gospel principles. I have peppered within these pages several of my own stories, with the intent that they might serve a similar purpose, including the Picture Puzzle Principle and the Parable of the Lifeboat, the Lincoln Log Lesson, and my story of Spies and Triangulation. This project has haunted my waking moments for over seven years. My purpose is to share my own witness of Jesus Christ. It is my hope that these stories may bless your life and bring joy, knowing that one more soul has been saved.

Telecommunications Free Trade Zones

Crafting a Model for Local Exchange Competition

By: Terrence L. Barnich,Craig M. Clausen,Calvin S. Monson

Introduces the notion of TFTZ's -- a geographically defined market in which any entrant meeting minimum qualifications would be permitted to offer, on a"take-all-comers" basis within the zone, the full array of telecommunications services, including local exchange switched services. Prices and terms of these services would be left to the market rather than the devices of the utility regulator. The regulator, however, would retain three crucially important resident powers: oversight, insurance against discrimination, and customary ratemaking powers.

Calvin's Ecclesiastical Advice

By: Jean Calvin

These forty-six letters and writings of John Calvin, translated into English, demonstrate how Calvin applied the theology of the Institutes and the biblical exegesis of his commentaries to issues of everyday life. Here, Calvin gives advice to individuals and groups about theology, ethics, worship, politics, economics, and church practices. Topics discussed include dogmatics and polemics, changes (and the need for changes) in religion, the worship of images, ecclesiastical discipline, marriage, and justice. Each writing is introduced by an identification of the receiver of the advice and an explanation of the subject matter itself. This volume is useful for understanding Calvin's theology and its application to Christian life.

Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion

By: John Calvin,Mark DeVries,Kirk Freeman

Shepherd's Notes- Christian Classics Series is designed to give readers a quick, step by step overview of some of the enduring treasures of the Christian faith. They are designed to be used along side the classic itself- either in individual study or in a study group. The faithful of all generations have found spiritual nourishment in the Scriptures and in the works of Christians of earlier generations. Martin Luther and John Calvin would not have become who they were apart from their reading Augustine. God used the writings of Martin Luther to move John Wesley from a religion of dead works to an experience at Aldersgate in which his "heart was strangely warmed." Shepherd's Notes will give pastors, laypersons, and students access to some of the treasures of Christian faith.

Calvin's Calvinism

The Eternal Predestination of God and the Secret Providence of God

By: John Calvin

Calvin’s Calvinism A Translation of 1. The Eternal Predestination of God 2. The Secret Providence of God By John Calvin and translated by Henry Cole, D.D. This unique book constitutes the only original writings of John Calvin devoted “expressly, exclusively, and purposely” to the capital “Calvinistic” doctrines of The Eternal Predestination of God, and The Secret Providence of God. They are Calvin’s own testimony and real mind concerning the doctrines of God’s electing, predestinating and sovereign grace, constitute his own exposition and expression of faith, and beautifully display the spirit in which he held and taught these great Biblical truths. These important treatises were published in 1552 and 1558 respectively and lay locked in the original language of Calvin’s day until translated by Henry Cole, D. D., 300 years later in 1856 under the present title of Calvin’s Calvinism. The first treatise on Eternal Predestination consists of 131 pages; the second on Secret Providence covers 127 pages, the later embracing arguments (Calumnies) against Calvin and his refutation of each particular point. Illuminating “Dedicatory Prefaces” and prefaces by the translator add significance to the main content of this important volume.

John Calvin's Sermons on the Ten Commandments

By: John Calvin

A collection of sixteen sermons by John Calvin that shed light on his understanding and application of the Ten Commandments. Widely known as one of the church’s most significant theologians, John Calvin was also a skilled preacher with the ability to proclaim biblical truth with power and relevance. These sermons develop the essence of his teaching on the moral law in a popular and engaging manner. Pastors preaching through the Ten Commandments, Bible students, and anyone interested in Calvin’s views on the Ten Commandments will take great delight in reading his exposition of the Decalogue, which is called “the true and eternal rule of righteousness [for all] who wish to conform their lives to God’s will.”

The Secret Providence of God

By: John Calvin

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Secret Providence of God

By: John Calvin

In 1558 John Calvin held a prominent position of leadership in the Reform movement. He had written prolifically and his works had been widely circulated-and critiqued. It was at this time that he penned an answer to a critique of his position on divine providence, as articulated in the 1546 edition of the Institutes. His polemical defense of his beliefs, The Secret Providence of God, reflects the boisterous, argumentative tone of the Reformation era and is Calvin's fullest treatment on this most important doctrine. Unfortunately, in recent decades this work has been largely forgotten. With this new English translation of Calvin's work, editor Paul Helm reintroduces The Secret Providence of God to students, pastors, and lay readers of Reformed theology. Translator Keith Goad has modernized the English while preserving a Latinized translation style as far as possible. Helm has provided a full introduction, discussing the work's background, content, style, and relation to Calvin's other writings on providence.

Institutes of the Christian Religion

By: John Calvin

A colossal milestone of Christian thought—at an irresistible price! Here in a convenient one-volume edition is John Calvin’s magnum opus. Written as an introduction to the Christian life, the Institutes remains the best articulation of Reformation principles and is a marvelous introduction to biblical Christianity. Newly retypeset for clarity, this volume translated by Henry Beveridge offers a more affordable edition of one of the last millennium’s must-have works. This book will appeal to libraries, seminarians, pastors, and laypeople. Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin is an introduction to the Bible and a vindication of Reformation principles by one of the Reformation’s finest scholars. At the age of twenty-six, Calvin published several revisions of his Institutes of the Christian Religion, a seminal work in Christian theology that altered the course of Western history and that is still read by theological students today. It was published in Latin in 1536 and in his native French in 1541, with the definitive editions appearing in 1559 (Latin) and in 1560 (French). The book was written as an introductory textbook on the Protestant faith for those with some learning already and covered a broad range of theological topics from the doctrines of church and sacraments to justification by faith alone. It vigorously attacked the teachings of those Calvin considered unorthodox, particularly Roman Catholicism, to which Calvin says he had been “strongly devoted” before his conversion to Protestantism. The overarching theme of the book—and Calvin’s greatest theological legacy—is the idea of God’s total sovereignty, particularly in salvation and election. John Calvin (1509–1564), a French theologian and reformer, was persecuted as a Protestant. As a result, he traveled from place to place. In 1534 at Angouleme he began the work of systematizing Protestant thought in his Institutes of the Christian Religion, one of the most influential theological works of all time.

Two by Calvin

By: John Calvin

Two by Calvin - Two Classics by John Calvin in one affordable volume containing: ON THE CHRISTIAN LIFE -- Every follower of Christ is called to righteousness. In answering Christ's call to live rightly, Calvin stresses the importance of clinging to the grace given through Christ's death and resurrection. Towards the conclusion, he proposes a few ways in which each person can bring God's grace to a fallen world yet avoid abusing their roles as representatives of God to that world. This brief text can serve as an introduction to Calvin's thought for any who wish to broaden their general knowledge or set out on a path of more involved study. PRAYER -- This treatise on prayer comes from Book III, Chapter 20 of Calvin's seminal work, Institutes of the Christian Religion. In it, Calvin meditates on the Lord's Prayer as a model for meaningful praying. His method and meditation possess the same depth of scriptural and theological scholarship that characterize the wider body of his work. Although one can read these words on prayer simply because of their immense impact upon history, they can still challenge and instruct us today.

Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God

By: John Calvin

Although he wrote comprehensively on a wide range of doctrinal issues, it is Predestination with which Calvin is most associated today. In this, his definitive text on the subject, he outlines fully a doctrine he feels has been wilfully misinterpreted to the detriment of the Church. Readers will witness Calvin masterfully arguing his points, wrestling with the scriptures, and fully engaging in the polemical world of sixteenth-century theological debate as he refutes the views of three of his chief detractors. J.K.S. Reid's widely praised translation preserves the nuances of Calvin's thought and the strength of his rhetoric, while his introduction offers a critical examination of Calvin's theological argument.

Letters of John Calvin

By: John Calvin

Calvin wrote to kings and princes, Reformers and friends, nobility and common people alike. The Letters of John Calvin reveal a man of deep pastoral concern, consistent and exemplary evangelistic zeal, with a humble sense of the final authority of God and his word. This selection contains a number of letters written in connection with the establishment of the Reformation in England; a cross-section of Calvin's correspondence with his closest friends, especially William Farel, and also Luther and Melanchthon. There are also letters of pastoral counsel and encouragement, and perhaps most moving of all, Calvin's exhortations to five young men imprisoned in Lyons, France, awaiting the day of their certain martyrdom.

Luther and Calvin on Secular Authority

Luther and Calvin on Secular Authority

By: John Calvin,Martin Luther

Martin Luther and John Calvin were the principal 'magistral' Reformers of the sixteenth-century: they sought to enlist the cooperation of rulers in the work of reforming the Church. However, neither regarded the relationship between Reformed Christians and the secular authorities as comfortable or unproblematic. The two pieces translated here, Luther's On Secular Authority and Calvin's On Civil Government, constitute their most sustained attempts to find the proper balance between these two commitments. Despite their mutual respect, there were wide divergences between them. Luther's On Secular Authority would later be cited en bloc in favour of religious toleration, whereas Calvin envisaged secular authority as an agency for the compulsory establishment of the external conditions of Christian virtue and the suppression of dissent. The introduction, glossary, chronology and bibliography contained in this volume locate the texts in the broader context of the theology and political thinking of their authors.

The Unaccommodated Calvin

Studies in the Foundation of a Theological Tradition

By: Richard A. Muller

This book attempts to understand Calvin in his 16th-century context, with attention to continuities and discontinuities between his thought and that of his predecessors, contemporaries, and successors. Muller pays particular attention to the interplay between theological and philosophical themes common to Calvin and the medieval doctors, and to developments in rhetoric and method associated with humanism.
