Episode 8 • 23m
It is common to think of John Calvin primarily in terms of his intellectual accomplishments, perhaps regarding him as little more than a brain working in Geneva. However, a closer look at Calvin's theology reveals that his scholarly activity was driven by a deeply pastoral desire to strengthen believers in their faith.
