Summary "Johannes Kalvin" by Friedrich Oehninger is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the significant life and influence of John Calvin, particularly focusing on his arrival in Geneva and the tumultuous impact he had on the city amidst its political and religious upheaval. It provides insights into Calvin's contributions to the Protestant Reformation and paints a portrait of a man whose ideas and leadership greatly shaped the course of Christianity. The opening of the book sets the stage for Calvin's journey to Geneva in August 1536, illustrating the chaotic backdrop of the city where political and religious tensions had created a volatile environment. As Calvin arrives, he is described as a frail yet determined figure, recognized not only for his writings but also for his potential to bring order to the turmoil surrounding Geneva. The narrative highlights the challenges faced by the citizens, who were amidst a struggle against both external and internal corruptions within the church. Calvin's meeting with the local preacher Farel marks a turning point as Farel perceives Calvin as the crucial leader needed to instigate change, thus initiating the profound transformation of Geneva that would echo through history.
