Originally published in Latin in 1536 and later in French in 1541, with definitive editions released in 1559 and 1560, this influential text serves as an essential guide for those seeking to understand the Protestant faith. Calvin addresses a wide array of theological topics, from church doctrine and sacraments to the concept of justification by faith alone and the nature of Christian liberty.
