About this video

Runtime: 1 hour 12 mins

Tony Lane discusses the life, works, theology and influence of Calvin as a second generation reformist. Calvin, born in 1509 during the Reformation with his early life in France studying law but later transitioning to theology after his father's death. Calvin's conversion experience led him to align with the reform movement, resulting in his departure from Paris due to religious persecution. Settling in Basel, he authored his foundational work, "Institutes of the Christian Religion," published in 1536. Calvin's ministry in Geneva, marked by clashes over church autonomy, led to exile but also pivotal interactions in Strasbourg, influencing his theological development and personal life, including marriage and encounters with diverse reformist views.
