“David W. Hall makes many bold claims about the influence of John Calvin and then provides the evidence to back up those claims. As a pastor who has read widely and deeply on his subject, Dr. Hall provides a positive appreciation of Calvin’s life and influence for those celebrating the 500th anniversary of his birth.” —William S. Barker, Professor of Church History Emeritus, Westminster Theological Seminary

“Read Legacy of John Calvin and you will understand why half a millennium after his birth, Calvin remains a vital spiritual leader for the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ.” —Dr. Peter A. Lillback, President, Westminster Theological Seminary

David W. Hall is the senior pastor at Midway Presbyterian Church in Powder Springs, Georgia, and the general editor for the Calvin 500 Series.
