Few historical figures have had worse press than John Calvin — “Calvinist” was coined as a term of derision while he still lived. Yet few have left a more lasting impression on the Christian faith and the world in which they lived. Persecuted in Paris, he fled to Geneva. In time his vision of the church as a refuge for sinners attracted students and exiles from all corners of Europe, and it continues to attract today.

This series of discussions will provide an opportunity to get behind the reputation and meet the man on the 500th anniversary of his birth. Presentations by world-class scholars will introduce us to Calvin as a pastor and teacher whose primary concern was the care of souls.

Please join us Thursday evenings this Fall as we explore his vision of the Christian faith and its meaning for the world today
