John Calvin, one of the most important Protestant reformers of the 16th century, is well known as a theologian. However, he was also a caring preacher, pastor and spiritual leader. This volume in the dynamic Classics of Western Spirituality™ series highlights this significant but relatively unknown side of Calvin by exploring his piety and spirituality. 
This volume covers the scope of Calvin's life and work and includes sections on his life, theological orientation, liturgical and sacramental practices, the psalms, worship and prayer. The sources translated, some of which were previously translated by other persons, include letters, sermons, prayers, lectures, scriptural commentary, worship services and theological writings. 
While other translations of Calvin's works are available, this volume stands out because of its emphasis on a lesser-explored aspect of his work, his piety. Students and scholars of Protestant theology and spirituality and those with an interest in Reformation studies will find this to be an indispensable addition to their library.

THE PASTORAL MINISTRY AND WORSHIP IN CALVIN'S GENEVA

DROZ

This is the first of a two-volume set providing access to the literary corpus of Katharina Schutz Zell, a lay leader of the early Protestant Reformation, and one of the most articulate women authors of her age. Her works, some published in her lifetime, others preserved only in manuscript, are remarkable for their time span (1524-1558) and range of genres - from devotional, educational and pastoral texts, to sermonic literature and theological polemic. Her practically unknown autograph letter to Caspar Schwenckfeld is particularly important for the new light it sheds on confessionalization in the 1550s and Zell's intellectual independence.
