Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book 2

Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book 2, is part of John Calvin's foundational work on Protestant systematic theology, first published in Latin in 1536 and later in French in 1541. This book focuses on the knowledge of God as a Redeemer in Christ, detailing human fallibility and the role of Christ as Mediator. Calvin's work has significantly influenced Reformed theology and emphasizes God's sovereignty in salvation and election, making it a critical text for understanding Calvinism and Protestant doctrine.
