"The only study of Psychopannychia in English, Tavard's work contributes to a historical understanding of Calvin's thought and, just as important, helps demonstrate the "catholic" scope of his reforming intentions. These twin concerns will make this volume equally valuable to students of theology, church history, and contemporary ecumenical dialogue."--Jacket ER -
