The second volume of Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion continues a systematic exposition of Reformation theology, addressing justification, grace, and Christian life. It is not a narrative but a doctrinal treatise that sets out teachings with scriptural support. It is worth hearing for insight into a foundational text of Protestant thought and its influence on Western church history.

Non tamen omnino potuit mors invida totum
Tollere Calvinum terris; æterna manebunt
Ingenii monumenta tui: et livoris iniqui
Languida paulatim cum flamma resederit, omnes
Religio qua pura nitet se fundet in oras
Fama tui.
