This week, in honor of John Calvin's 500th birthday, I am blogging a week-long series for Zondervan at their biblical studies blog, Koinonia. You can go to the blog's homepage here or each of the individual blogs here, here and here.



For those unfamiliar with John Calvin, he lived during the 16th century and was one of the key reformers of the church. He is also considered one of the greatest theologians in the history of the church. He lived much of his life in Switzerland, was French by birth, and was a pastor by trade. His theological emphasis was the majesty and glory of God.
