I got excited for a second -- I thought it was going to be about Calvin ... and Hobbes.... (man, I miss that tiger...)

"Next up: The Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin"

You are in for a treat. When it comes to writing ability no one comes close to Calvin in the area of theology. Institutes is a surprisingly easy read considering the depth and complexity of his subject matter. There is definately a poetic quality to his prose. Your biggest shock will be to find out you are in Vol. 2, 900 pages into the work and you haven't read a thing yet about predestination or any other of the allegedly essential elements of "5 point Calvinism". What most people think of as "Calvinism" makes up a tiny part of "Institutes".
