‘Professor Reist provides us with a careful and fully documented account of the themes and the structure of the Institutes…. His years of living with Calvin’s writings are reflected in an ability to penetrate to the inner logic and development of the Reformer’s thought and effectively to counter many of the gross misunderstandings represented among both Calvin’s ‘disciples’ and his opponents.’
— Claude Welch, Dean Emeritus and Professor of Historical Theology, Graduate Theological Union, Berkley, California
