John Calvin Studies

John Calvin (1509–1564) was a leading theologian in the Protestant Reformation. We invite and encourage you to read Dr. Elsie Anne McKee’s first ever English translation of his Institutes of the Christian Religion, from his very accessible 1541 French edition, which the Foundation helped publish. See more information on our Publications page.

We also invite and encourage you to read the Ford Lewis Battles translation of Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion, from the later and larger 1559 Latin edition. Here is a plan to do that a few pages at a time:
