excerpts from my journal – #2 John Calvin’s influence

August 18, 2008 | 12:00 pm

From Christianity’s Dangerous Idea p. 94

Calvin’s greatest contribution to the Protestant church is the ability he demonstrated to be able to be build a solid basis of theology on the Bible…

It’s crazy to me that it was any other way at other post-canonical period of time! This just betrays the success of Calvin’s main and foundational idea.

I need to read Calvin’s Institutes.
