It shows how Calvin's theological legacy impacted the formation of the modern world, its worldview, and its social institutions and presents him as an engaging interlocutor on contemporary matters of social, political, racial, and economic justice.

John Calvin, a prominent figure in the sixteenth-century Reformation, has left a lasting impact on the ecclesial, political, and economic spheres of modern life. While his supporters praise his transformative influence, his detractors portray him as a ruthless proponent of theocracy. This conflicting image suggests that there is more to Calvin than meets the eye. In Calvin for the World, Rubén Rosario Rodríguez offers a creative engagement with Calvin's theological and political thought and a critical reclamation of the Reformer's legacy. Rodríguez presents Calvin's theology in historical context and explores his global impact by examining his views on a broad range of social and cultural issues, including political theology, migration and dislocation, nationalism, social welfare policies, revolution, racism, and religious pluralism. This book demonstrates how Calvin's theological legacy shaped the modern world, its worldview, and its social institutions and presents Calvin as an engaging interlocutor on contemporary matters of social, political, racial, and economic justice. It will be ideal for professors and students of theology for use in courses on Calvin, the Reformation, and church history, as well as pastors and church leaders.
