You may have noticed that the first few days of “Today’s Quote” this year have been quotes from John Calvin’s little book John Calvin, Golden Booklet of the True Christian Life. There’s a reason for that.
This year (2009) is the 500th anniversary of the birth of John Calvin.
One of the goals I have this year is to read Calvin’s Institutes. Frankly, it’s a daunting task, given it’s size and depth. Yet, even reading a significant portion of it will be worthwhile. This morning I just came across a blog that will be writing about the Institutes throughout the year, and even offers a reading guide to help lead readers through the book. Follow along with them if you’d like.
