- Summary:
- Calvin's CalvinismA Translation of1. The Eternal Predestination of God2. The Secret Providence of GodBy John Calvin and translated by Henry Cole, D.D.This unique book constitutes the only original writings of John Calvin devoted "expressly, exclusively, and purposely" to the capital "Calvinistic" doctrines of The Eternal Predestination of God, and The Secret Providence of God. They are Calvin's own testimony and real mind concerning the doctrines of God's electing, predestinating and sovereign grace, constitute his own exposition and expression of faith, and beautifully display the spirit in which he held and taught these great Biblical truths.These important treatises were published in 1552 and 1558 respectively and lay locked in the original language of Calvin's day until translated by Henry Cole, D. D., 300 years later in 1856 under the present title of Calvin's Calvinism. The first treatise on Eternal Predestination consists of 131 pages; the second on Secret Providence covers 127 pages, the later embracing arguments (Calumnies) against Calvin and his refutation of each particular point. Illuminating "Dedicatory Prefaces" and prefaces by the translator add significance to the main content of this important volume.
