| Summary | "Letters of John Calvin, Volume I" by Jean Calvin is a historical collection of correspondence written in the 16th century. This volume compiles Calvin's letters, which not only provide insight into his theological perspectives but also reflect the personal dimensions of his relationships and the historical context of the Reformation. The opening of the work sets the stage by introducing Calvin's influential role as a Reformer and scholar during a turbulent period in European history. It highlights the painstaking efforts taken by Dr. Jules Bonnet to compile these letters, which were preserved after Calvin’s death, ensuring they reached a broader audience. The text includes Calvin’s early correspondence while studying at various universities, sharing personal anecdotes, discussing theological issues, and engaging with significant figures of his time—showing both his intellectual rigor and personal connections in the unfolding drama of the Reformation.
