This is the 500th anniversary of his birthday. A series of articles on John Calvin showed up in the most unlikely place- one of our local newspapers.
The main article, on the front page, included some characterizations people have which are often unfounded. It is mostly about the resurgence in Calvinism. It includes a few quotes from Tim Rice over at Trinity Presbyterian, center of a church planting network. I’m not sure why they included a photo of Tim’s copy of The Institutes of the Christian Religion, as though it was a rare book or something.
On page A3 there was a short biography of Calvin. Very short, seemingly amazed that he had friends and got along with them.
On page A6 there was a short explanation of the 5-Points of Calvinism. A bit too short if you ask me. But it was not unfair in any way.
