Stemming from the Desiring God 2009 National Conference, this volume includes chapters by Julius Kim, Douglas...

In 1558 John Calvin held a prominent position of leadership in the Reform movement. He had written prolifically and his works had been widely circulated-and critiqued. It was at this time that he penned an answer to a critique of his position on divine providence, as articulated in the 1546 edition of the Institutes.
