Jean Cauvin, Son of Gerard (Chapters 1-6) -- Louis du Tillet of Angouleme (Chapters 7-9) -- Pastor Calvin of Geneva (Chapters 10-12) -- Maigret the Magnificent (Chapters 13-15) -- John Calvin, Accuser (Chapter 16-20) -- John Calvin, Citizen of Geneva (Chapters 21-22) -- Plainpalais -- Authors note.
With bold, reliable strokes, Duncon Norton-Taylor expertly sketches Calvin the theologian, and Calvin the cultural activist whose goal was to shape lives of the Genevans in conformity to evangelical faith. Accurately reflecting the context and flavor of medieval times, a human figure emerges from this treatment of Calvin - a sixteenth century man with a sixteenth century perspective.
This fascinating novel brings Calvin to life in a way that standard biographies cannot do. Thoroughly researched, using Calvins literary corpus well, Gods Man fills gaps in out knowledge of the Genevan reformer - how he lived, how he thought, and how he responded to life situations.
