Reviews

"Without question this work is an important contribution to Calvin studies . . . With the publication of this volume, the English-speaking world has been given access to the stimulating insights of a substantial scholar." --The Reformed Theological Review, 61.1 (April 2002)
"De Kroons book is a worthy attempt to gain insight into his theology without being caught up in fruitless discussion of his personality." --Irish Theological Quarterly 2002
"In an era when the study of Latin has fallen on hard times, it is refreshing to see again that Latin is essential to a nuanced knowledge of Calvin. De Kroon sensitively probes the subtleties of the Latin words, discussing the obscuring of God's honour, as well as the words pertaining to the robbing of God's honour." -Toronto Journal of Theology, Fall 2003
