"Calvin was born a Roman Catholic, and engagement with Roman Catholicism is fundamental to his theology. While he rejected the Roman Church, he continued to see himself as part of the Catholic Church. This collection of papers, by both Protestant and Roman Catholic scholars, is a valuable contribution to our understanding of Calvin and to today's dialogue between the two sides."Tony Lane, professor of historical theology, London School of Theology"Able historians and theologians here take up the question of John Calvin's relationship to Roman Catholicism. Polemics, dialogue, and engagement marked Calvin's history with the Roman Catholics as it also did the churches stemming from Calvin's influences. These pieces set the contexts, issues, and--in some cases--surprising results of these interactions. The studies benefit both Reformed and Roman Catholic traditions and open new avenues for further exploration between 'Geneva' and 'Rome.' The results are not only enhanced knowledge but also ecumenical enrichment, for which we can all be grateful."Donald K. McKim, editor of The Cambridge Companion to John Calvin and Readings in Calvin's Theology
