The answer to the question, “John Calvin’s great volume, The Institutes of the Christian Religion, is basically a book of order and regulations for Reform churches that have as one of their principles, “doing things decently and in order,” is no. The four-book volume is in reality a comprehensive system of Protestant theological doctrine.

Living in Geneva when he wrote The Institutes, John Calvin was hailed as the “Aristotle of the Reformation.” Though best remembered for this momentous work, Calvin wrote commentary books on almost every book of the Bible. Many consider these commentaries his best work.

The next denomination is the Reformed Church in America.
