John Calvin and His Passion for the Majesty of God

Auteur : John Piper

Description

John Piper fires readers’ passion for the centrality and supremacy of God by unfolding Calvin’s exemplary zeal for the glory of God. John Calvin’s aim, he wrote, was to ‘set before , as the prime motive of his existence, zeal to illustrate the glory of God’ - a fitting banner over all of the great Reformer’s life and work. ‘The essential meaning of Calvin’s life and preaching,’ writes John Piper, ‘is that he recovered and embodied a passion for the absolute reality and majesty of God. Such is the aim and burden of this book as well.’ As Piper concisely unfolds this predominant theme in Calvin’s life, he seeks to fire every Christian’s passion for the centrality and supremacy of God, so that God’s self-identification in Exodus 3 as ‘I am who I am’ becomes the sun in our solar system too.
