Analysis of the Institutes of the Christian Religion of John Calvin

Ford Lewis Battles (19151979) received his PhD from Hartford Theological Seminary. Battles was a visiting professor of church history at Calvin Theological Seminary and also taught at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and Hartford Theological Seminary. He is widely recognized as one of the foremost Calvin scholars of recent years.

Students and teachers of Calvin are [now] further indebted to Ford Lewis Battles, the noted Calvin translator and scholar. . . .With the availability of the Analysis, perhaps more people will take up the challenge and read (and more to teach!) the Institutes.
A remarkably helpful guide... The Analysis will make it much easier for us to delve into the richness of Calvin’s thought.
Should be of considerable help to the student as he threads his way through the lengthy theological classic, under the guidance of a foremost Calvin scholar.
The author demonstrates a great gift of interpreting Calvin for the beginner, who will value this volume.
Will surely prove to be a useful guide for serious students of the Institutes, providing a comprehensive overview of the longer work.
