THE LIFE OF CALVIN is a short biography about the famed reformer by an eye-witness who knew him. Theodore Beza was a theologian and an ardent follower of Calvin who became his successor. As such, his "Life of Calvin" is not what could be called an objective biography, but a work that highlights the events in Calvin's life that helped to spur on the Protestant Reformation. A great introduction to a man who helped shape his generation and continues to influence millions around the world today!
