Calvin on worship

Recently I reviewed Bruce Gordon's biography of John Calvin. This post is the last of nine parts of a short series of snippets from the book.

**************************

Gordon summarizes:

“God has spoken to humanity in scripture, opened a relationship in which women and men should know and worship God—a worship not confined to religious services, but which embraces every aspect of human existence (p.61, my emphasis).

Mike,

Thought you might be interested in Paul Helm's review of Gordon's biography. Helm gives it his general endorsement:
