Books I dug over the summer...

Calvin for Armchair Theologians
Christopher Elwood

The book is described on google as “An introduction to the life and main teachings of John Calvin (1509-1564), this book blends Calvin's theology into the story of his life to provide those with no knowledge of the Genevan reformer with a concise picture of his key theological views.

This was one of the audio books I explored over the summer. It was so good I listened to most of it twice! Having read some of Calvin’s Institutes and heard lectures on him, I was really seeking a rounded summary of the man and his ideas. I was not disappointed! The fun thing about listening to the audio version was that it is read by a Brit ,which made it sound a bit like listening to Harry Potter books as the reader on those audio books has the same posh, well educated accent. I highly recommend it and in fact discovered that you can read this book online for free! It is a fun and easy read. The armchair series has a variety of people covered. The next one I will be exploring is Augustine.
