{"product_id":"secret-providence-of-god-9781433507052","title":"Secret Providence of God","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1558 John Calvin held a prominent position of leadership in the Reform movement. He had written prolifically and his works had been widely circulated-and critiqued. It was at this time that he penned an answer to a critique of his position on divine providence, as articulated in the 1546 edition of the Institutes. His polemical defense of his beliefs, \u003cem\u003eThe Secret Providence of God\u003c\/em\u003e, reflects the boisterous, argumentative tone of the Reformation era and is Calvin's fullest treatment on this most important doctrine. Unfortunately, in recent decades this work has been largely forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith this new English translation of Calvin's work, editor Paul Helm reintroduces \u003cem\u003eThe Secret Providence of God\u003c\/em\u003e to students, pastors, and lay readers of Reformed theology. Translator Keith Goad has modernized the English while preserving a Latinized translation style as far as possible. Helm has provided a full introduction, discussing the work's background, content, style, and relation to Calvin's other writings on providence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crossway Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433507052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.62w x 0.33d","brand":"John Calvin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40138875109557,"sku":"9781433507052","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3acc879f-9e46-4c33-9c1a-1375ec36557a.jpg?v=1622518690","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/secret-providence-of-god-9781433507052","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
