    Still Truth
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2015*

I purchased Calvin's 1537 book Truth For All Time as I continue my study of Sovereign Grace. This book was designed to be a brief statement of the faith of the Reformers in Switzerland during the time of Calvin. This is a small book intended for the common folk, whereas his Institutes was a longer work intended for the more intellectual types.I found this book interesting. There are a few areas where Calvin and I disagree, such as infant baptism and his basically unlimited submission to civil government. I did learn from this book; I especially enjoyed Calvin's explanation of the Ten  Commandments and Jewish superstition regarding days (Sabbath observance).  When I read this book, I felt that Calvin was expressing a love of God and the scriptures that is missing from modern preachers. Overall, I enjoyed this book.

    The place to start with Calvin
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2016*

One of the problems in learning about Calvin's theology is where to begin. Often his Institutes are recommended. But the Institutes are, in reality, the deep side of the theological pool. Many take up the Institutes only to put the whole thing down. Truth for All Time is the Institutes in prototype. If a person wants to learn about Calvin's theology this is the place to begin. Only after one masters this little booklet should they move on into deeper water. But it is important to note that one's reading should not be casual but analytical. The reader needs to look for key words, principles, and images (images like Calvin's "descending deep into oneself").The booklet reads well, has good type, an important table of contents (which shows Calvin's beginning commitment to the "loci method" -- he will ultimately switch to the outline of the Apostles' Creed), and an insightful preface telling of its history in "calvinalia." Highly recommended.

    Great gift - nice, profound, challenging and encouraging!
  

*by D***I on Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2010*

If you had to summarize the elements of the Christian faith - this would be what you'd write. Calvin begins with the concept of knowing God - what we are made for as humans.  But since sin has entered the world, we are separated from God which introduced the concept of salvation and eternal life.  Calvin them moves from these core elements of the gospel to other central themes from Scripture - the law, the sacraments, faith, prayer and the role of the church and state.  Great synopsis of the Christian faith and wonderfully produced in a short, leather-bound 134-page book that is small enough to fit in a pocket or a purse.  Highly recommended.
