Juan Calvino (1509-1564) fue un reformador protestante importante cuya influencia contina hasta nuestros das. l era un lder de lo que lleg a ser conocido como la rama reformada de la Reforma Protestante. Calvino estaba profundamente involucrado en la vida de Ginebra, en donde predic y dio conferencias. Le inquietaban especialmente varias facetas de la vida diaria de la ciudad. Sus escritos teolgicos lo ponen en primera fila entre los lderes protestantes y sus tipos variados de escritos-comentarios bblicos, sermones, y trabajos teolgicos y polmicos-fueron vistos como recursos claves para aquellas personas que adoptaron su punto de vista. Quienes le seguan posteriormente (calvinistas) desarrollaron su pensamiento en expresiones ms sistemticas. Sin embargo, el genio teolgico de Calvino todava es visto en el presente como una clara articulacin de su entendimiento acerca del evangelio cristiano. En la tradicin presbiteriana, el trabajo de Calvino es muy estimado como un elemento formativo para el entendimiento de la fe y la vida cristiana.

La primera leccin habla acerca de Juan Calvino como ser humano y quien era en su contexto. La segunda leccin discute los temas ms importantes de su teologa.

John Calvin (1509-1564) was a major Protestant reformer whose influence continues to the present day. He was a leader of what became known as the Reformed branch of the Protestant Reformation. Calvin was deeply involved in the life of Geneva, where he preached and lectured and was concerned with many facets of everyday life. His theological writings put him in the front ranks of Protestant leaders, and his various types of writings--biblical commentaries, sermons, and theological and polemical works--were viewed as key resources for those who adopted his views. Later followers (Calvinists) developed his thought into even more systematic expressions. But Calvin's theological genius is still looked to in the present time as a clear articulation of his understanding of the Christian gospel. In the Presbyterian tradition, Calvin's work is highly regarded as formative for understanding Christian faith and life.

The first session discusses John Calvin the man, who he was in his context. The second session discusses the major themes of Calvin's theology.
