2009: The "Calvin Year"

Calvin 09: The Calvin Jubilee
News: Celebrate the Calvin Jubilee
Readings: A Year with John Calvin

John Calvin is well known by Presbyterians, but he is not necessarily well understood. Historical caricatures of his harsh and somber reputation have threatened to overshadow his remarkable gifts to the church.

As we celebrate the 500th anniversary of Calvin’s birth in 2009, we Presbyterians have an opportunity to reintroduce ourselves to Calvin’s legacy — his monumental contributions to theology, church government, education, language, music, and politics as well as the more troubling aspects.

Take the time to get to know John Calvin better and you may find that a deeper engagement with the man and his legacy will enhance your appreciation not only of Calvin, but of the entire Presbyterian tradition.
