Summary

Throughout the years, biographers have depicted John Calvin in many ways. Jones takes a fresh look at Calvin as she draws a compelling portrait of Calvin as artist, engaged in the classical art of rhetoric. Thus, she offers a rhetorical reading of the first three chapters of Calvin's Institute of the Christian Religion.
