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 ER -
