2009년 칼뱅의 해는 2008년 10월 31일 네덜란드 아펠도른의 종교개혁연구소가 주관한 『칼뱅: 성인인가 죄인인가?』라는 주제의 학술회의로 시작되었다. 본 책은 그 회의에서 발표된 논문들을 수록한 것으로, 제네바의 개혁자 칼뱅에 대한 연구의 깊이와 다양성을 보여준다. 이 논문들은 칼뱅이 신학, 교회, 사회에 가져온 갱신을 어떻게 평가할 수 있는지를 고찰하며, 기존 전통이나 다른 개혁자들과의 차이점도 함께 조명한다. 이 책은 칼뱅과 그의 신학에 관한 최신 연구의 다면성을 통찰력 있게 보여준다.
The Calvin year 2009 began on October 31, 2008 with a conference organized by the Institute for Reformation Research (Apeldoorn) on the topic »Calvin: Saint or Sinner?« A number of scholars dealt with the question of whether and how Calvin brought a renewal to theology, the church and society. This volume contains the papers held at this conference, which demonstrate the detailed and growing research on the reformer of Geneva. Since the contributions reflect the latest research in Calvin studies, the conclusions reached in many of the papers are surprising. Calvin was not a reformer in all respects in the original sense, as some would have wanted him to be. However on other subjects he definitely distanced himself from tradition and from his fellow reformers. All in all, this volume gives an overview of the many facets of John Calvin and his theology.
