John Calvin's greatest work, published in several editions as early as 1536 and finally in this definitive edition in 1559, was intended as a theological introduction to the Bible and a vindication of the principles of the Reformation. The central doctrines professed are the absolute sovereignty of God, the grounding of Christian faith in the Word of God revealed in the Holy Scriptures, and the inability of man to find salvation apart from God's grace. --publisher.… (lisätietoja)

[Preface to the Hendrickson Edition] The Protestant Reformation boasts a constellation of star players: Martin Luther, John Wycliffe, Jan Hus, Ulrich Zwingli, John Calvin, John Knox, Thomas Cranmer.
[Original Translator's Preface(1581)] T[homas] N[orton], the Translator; to the Reader.
Good reader, here is no offered you, the fourth time printed in English, Mr. Calvin's book of the Institutes of Christian Religion; a book of great labor to the author, and of great profit to the church of God.
[Prefatory Address by John Calvin to Francis I, King of France (1536)] Sire--When I first engaged in this work, nothing was farther from my thoughts than to write what should afterward be presented to you Majesty.
[Epistle to the Reader (Calvin, 1539)]
Prefixed to the second edition, published at Strasburg in 1539.
In the first edition of this work, having no expectation of the success which God has, in his goodness, been pleased to give it, I had, for the greater part, performed my office perfunctorily, as is usual in trivial undertakings.
[Subject of the Present Work (Calvin, 1545) Prefixed to the French edition, published at Geneva in 1545]
In order that my readers may be the better able to profit by the present work, I am desirous briefly to point out the advantage which they may derive from it.
[Epistle to the Reader (Calvin, 1559) Prefixed to the last edition, revised by the author.]
In the first edition of this work, having not the least expectation of the success which God, in his boundless goodness, has been pleased to give it, I had, for the greater par, performed my task in a perfunctory manner (as is usual in trivial undertakings); but when I understood that is had been received, by almost all the pious, with a favor which I had never dared to ask, far less to hope for, the more I was sincerely conscious that the reception was beyond my deserts, the greater I though my ingratitude would be, if, to the very kind wishes which had been expressed toward me, and which seemed of their own accord to invite me to diligence, I did not endeavor to respond, at least according to my humble ability.
[Method and Arrangement, or Subject of the Whole Work From an Epitome of the Institutions, by Gaspar Olevian
The subject handled by the author of these Christian Institutes is twofold: the former, the knowledge of God, which leads to a blessed immortality; and the latter(which is subordinate to the former), the knowledge of ourselves.
The first book treats of the knowledge of God the Creator.

[Preface to the Hendrickson Edition] We suggest you read the work itself. Consider its context, in sixteenth-century Reformation Europe, and judge it on its own merits.
I confess, indeed, it is not finely and pleasantly written nor carries with it such delightful grace of speech as some great wise men have bestowed upon some foolisher things, yet it contains sound truth set forth with faithful plainness, without wrong done to the author's meaning; and so, if you accept and use it, you shall not fail to have great profit thereby, and I shall think my labor very well employed.
[Method and Arrangement, or Subject of the Whole Work From an Epitome of the Institutions, by Gaspar Olevian
Such is the arrangement of the Institutes which may be thus summed up: Man being at first created upright, but afterward being not partially but totally ruined, finds his entire salvation out of himself in Christ, to whom being united by the Holy Spirit freely given without any foresight of future works, he thereby obtains a double blessing, i.e., full imputation of righteousness, which goes along with us eve to the grave, and the commencement of sanctification, which daily advances till at length it is perfected in the day of regeneration or resurrection of the body, and this, in order that the great mercy of God may be celebrated in the heavenly mansions throughout eternity.
And that our courage may not fail, Paul stimulates us by the additional consideration (1 Cor 7:23), that we were redeemed by Christ at the great price which our redemption cost him, in order that we might not yield a slavish obedience to the depraved wishes of men, far less do homage to their impiety.
