<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>This new edition reintroduces John Calvin's neglected work on the doctrine of divine providence. Includes an introduction and notes by prominent British theologian Paul Helm.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In 1558 John Calvin held a prominent position of leadership in the Reform movement. He had written prolifically and his works had been widely circulated-and critiqued. It was at this time that he penned an answer to a critique of his position on divine providence, as articulated in the 1546 edition of the Institutes. His polemical defense of his beliefs, <em>The Secret Providence of God</em>, reflects the boisterous, argumentative tone of the Reformation era and is Calvin's fullest treatment on this most important doctrine. Unfortunately, in recent decades this work has been largely forgotten.</p> <p>With this new English translation of Calvin's work, editor Paul Helm reintroduces <em>The Secret Providence of God</em> to students, pastors, and lay readers of Reformed theology. Translator Keith Goad has modernized the English while preserving a Latinized translation style as far as possible. Helm has provided a full introduction, discussing the work's background, content, style, and relation to Calvin's other writings on providence.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>PAUL HELM</strong> is a teaching fellow at Regent College, Vancouver, where he was previously the J. I. Packer Professor of Philosophical Theology. Before going to Regent he was professor of history and philosophy of religion at King's College in London. His books include <em>Eternal God</em>; <em>The Providence of God</em>; <em>Faith with Reason</em>; <em>John Calvin's Ideas</em>; and <em>John Calvin: A Guide for the Perplexed</em>.</p>
