About this audiobook

In Book One of the Institutes of the Christian Religion, John Calvin lays the foundation for all that follows: how we come to know God as Creator, and how that knowledge is bound up with knowledge of ourselves. Across eighteen chapters he traces the evidence of God stamped on creation and on human conscience, why that natural evidence leaves us without excuse yet without saving knowledge, and why Scripture is needed to correct and complete it. He addresses the Bible's origin and authority, refutes idolatry and image-worship, and closes with a sustained account of divine providence — arguing that nothing unfolds by chance, but all things are governed by God's sovereign hand, even as human responsibility remains intact. This edition renders Calvin's sixteenth-century argument, based on the 1845 Beveridge translation, into clear modern English while preserving his section numbering and the full weight of his theology.
