Overview
=============================
What is the purpose of the visible Church, and how does it serve as God’s chosen instrument to nurture faith? In The Institutes Book Four Part 1, John Calvin turns from the inner work of the Spirit in believers to the external means God has ordained—the Church, Scripture, ministry, and sacraments.

Here Calvin unfolds the divine design of the Church, its spiritual authority, the importance of unity and discipline, and the faithful administration of the Word and sacraments. He reveals how Christ governs His people through the Church and why belonging to the body of Christ is essential to the believer’s growth and perseverance.

This modern-English adaptation brings clarity and devotional warmth to Calvin’s vision of a living, Spirit-filled Church that exists for God’s glory and the believer’s sanctification.
