A National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Stipend will fund the preliminary research for and drafting of the fifth chapter of a book length project entitled John Calvin and Tradition: Authority, Continuity and Transformation, under consideration by Brill Academic publishers. In this study, I will examine one of the more famous revolutionaries in theological history, the reformer John Calvin. This study will examine Calvin's use of tradition in his own reforming activities and in his theological considerations.
