À propos de ce podcast
The John Calvin podcast is all about the enormously influential sixteenth century reformer John Calvin. My name is Matt White and I’m a Vicar and PhD student studying John Calvin. Calvin's impact on history, theology and society is both profound and polarizing—admired by many, yet controversial to others. Join us each week as we explore the fascinating historical and theological context surrounding Calvin's life and work. Our episodes aim to be both informative and fun, offering insights into Calvin and his enduring influence today. Episodes will be released every Monday morning at 7am GMT. Keep an eye out for occasional bonus content! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
