A Collection of His Spiritual Prose, Poems, and Hymns

Written by John Calvin, Edited by Ford Lewis Battles

The Piety of John Calvin is an invaluable collection of his prose and poetry, masterfully assembled to promote a more personal grasp of Calvin the man and his devotion to God. Chapters examine Calvin’s spiritual pilgrimage and faith, his views of the Christian life and prayer, samples of his prayers, metrical Psalms set to music, and “prose-poems” adapted from Calvin’s more lyrical writings.

Adding interest are Ford Lewis Battles’s introduction to “True Piety According to Calvin,” David Hall’s foreword featuring both Calvin and Battles, daughter Nancy Howitt-Battles’s preface, and six Psalms from Calvin’s Psalter with music arranged by Stanley Tagg.

Endorsements

“Here is a treasure. With impeccable scholarship and insight, Battles picks out products of Calvin’s pen that take us closest to his heart, and presents them in a way that gives them fullest force. What a godly man! And what a wonderful book!” —J. I. Packer, Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology, Regent College, Vancouver;

“Ford Lewis Battles—a name that has by now rightly become virtually synonymous with the leading, modern edition of John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion—set his fertile mind to explaining not only the systematic theology of the great Genevan Reformer but also the underlying piety that continually sparked the engine of that systematic theology. . . . The republishing of this volume adds important vignettes to the window of Calvin’s soul.” —David W. Hall, Senior Pastor, Midway Presbyterian Church, Powder Springs, Georgia.
