Summary
Jean Calvin: The Doctrine of the Christian Faith
The intention to compose a confession of faith for the French Protestants, or as they were then called "evangelists", appeared to Calvin in the first months of 1534. Jean Calvin was then twenty-five years old. He spent his childhood in the shadow of the cathedral in his hometown of Noyon. His father was the notary of the church. So he took advantage of the favor of the high prelates of Noyon and sent his son to complete his studies in Paris. At the Marche College, his teacher for a short time was the most famous pedagogue of the time, Mathurin Cordier, who taught him Latin. A little later in Bourges, where he studied law, professor Melchior Volmar, a famous Lutheran, taught him Greek. After graduating from legal studies, Calvin devoted himself to literature. Maybe he dreamed of a career as a humanist, like Erasmus, whom he always sincerely admired.
