What is most satisfying about this volume is that, as well as covering old ground, it also covers new territory...This serves to illustrate that this book is more than a summarising handbook as it also provides fresh research and insight.

Steve Bishop, Journal for Christian Scholarship

This volume offers readers a wide panoply of choices: historians, theologians, sociologists, and those with an interest in reception history are likely to find many interesting paths to pursue. The editors are to be commended for bringing such a mammoth work to fruition. It is likely to remain a reference point in Calvin studies for some time to come.

Karin Maag, Reformation

This handbook will be indispensable to those working in this field. Clearly recognizing the diverse influences of Calvin and Calvinism, the book broadens the scope of thinking on Calvin and "the many lines of cultural and intellectual development [that] connect him to the world of today"

Gordon and Trueman are to be commended for commissioning an outstanding collection of chapters, written by outstanding scholars and covering a wide array of topics .. everyone interested in Calvinism should be interested in this book ... This hefty volume is a terrific resource for pastors, scholars, and students.

Kevin DeYoung, The Gospel Coalition

This would undoubtedly be a positive development, as there is much of value throughout the collection.

Kenneth Austin, University of Bristol, Huguenot Society Journal

The Oxford Handbook of Calvin and Calvinism provides both fresh approaches to its topics and even fresh topics to pique the interest of a wide range of readers. Researchers will find food for thought here, while those getting started will set out on solid ground. This book can show us where to start and where to go from here.

Ryan M. McGraw, Puritan Reformed Journal

The various essays in this handbook succeed in contributing to scholarship on Calvin and Calvinism by giving the reader a penetrating glimpse into the complexities of Calvin's thought as well as showing how his thought was received and even transformed by future generations. Overall, the essays contained therein are of an excellent quality and, given the breadth of topics covered (for example, historical theology, global and contemporary Christianity), there is almost something for everyone.

Thomas Haviland-Pabst, Journal of Reformed Theology

The Oxford Handbook of Calvin and Calvinism offers a comprehensive assessment of John Calvin and the tradition of Calvinism as it evolved from the sixteenth century to today. Featuring contributions from scholars who present the latest research on a pluriform religious movement that became a global faith. The volume focuses on key aspects of Calvin's thought and its diverse reception in Europe, the transatlantic world, Africa, South America, and Asia. Calvin's theology was from the beginning open to a wide range of interpretations and was never a static body of ideas and practices. Over the course of his life his thought evolved and deepened while retaining unresolved tensions and questions that created a legacy that was constantly evolving in different cultural contexts. Calvinism itself is an elusive term, bringing together Christian communities that claim a shared heritage but often possess radically distinct characters. The Handbook reveals fascinating patterns of continuity and change to demonstrate how the movement claimed the name of the Genevan reformer but was moulded by an extraordinary range of religious, intellectual and historical influences, from the Enlightenment and Darwinism to indigenous African beliefs and postmodernism. In its global contexts, Calvinism has been continuously reimagined and reinterpreted. This collection throws new light on the highly dynamic and fluid nature of a deeply influential form of Christianity.
