ePub Culture and Development: A Critical Introduction by Susanne Schech; Jane Haggis in History

Description

This is the definitive English-language edition of one of the monumental works of the Christian church. All previous editions--in Latin; French; German; and English--have been collated; references and notes have been verified; corrected; and expanded; and new bibliographies have been added.The translation preserves the rugged strength and vividness of Calvin's writing; but also conforms to modern English and renders heavy theological terms in simple language. The result is a translation that achieves a high degree of accuracy and at the same time is eminently readable.Long recognized for the quality of its translations; introductions; explanatory notes; and indexes; the Library of Christian Classics provides scholars and students with modern English translations of some of the most significant Christian theological texts in history. Through these works--each written prior to the end of the sixteenth century--contemporary readers are able to engage the ideas that have shaped Christian theology and the church through the centuries.
