The Early Years of John Calvin

Rev. Thomas M'Crie's account of Calvin's early years—although technically a fragment because he did not live to finish it—is robust and complete for what it does offer. It includes over three hundred notes and references to more than sixty authors that were carefully and painstakingly compiled by M'Crie. His perceptive writing style offers a vivid and almost personal look into the places, people and events of Calvin's definitive years.
