The Missionary Vision of Luther and Calvin
Lindsay Brown
The evangelistic theology of the Reformation
Importance of sharing the gospel
Taking the gospel to all strata of society
Luther and Calvin, the great reformers of the sixteenth century, are remembered for their writings and theological debates, but do we think of them as great missionaries? Can we learn from them for mission work today? The huge impact of the Reformation, on all areas of life, evolved as part of Calvin’s and Luther’s evangelistic vision. With such a legacy, this vision is worth your attention.

Christian Focus
… a simple yet profound look into the missionary heart of both Luther and Calvin. While certainly concerned with evangelism, theirs was a much more encompassing vision of the gospel: God’s glory extended to the ends of the earth. For those looking to understand and imbibe this Reformation vision, let Brown be your guide.

… considers the way in which Luther and Calvin also sought to bring the truth of Christianity to all spheres of human life, a helpful reminder that Christ lays claim to the totality of life.

Superb! Calvin’s renewed vision for mission and evangelism with his strategic thinking and initiatives for the advance of the gospel provide an urgent challenge for Christians today. The final chapter with its ‘Ten Lessons for Today’ is essential reading for any involved in church leadership and evangelism. You will benefit immensely from reading this book.
