John Calvin was arguably the most influential of the 16th-century Reformers. His supporters praise his transformative influence on the ecclesial, political, and economic spheres of modern life, while his detractors paint him as a ruthless proponent of theocracy. These conflicting images suggest there is more to Calvin than meets the eye.

In this volume, Rubén Rosario Rodríguez offers a creative engagement with Calvin's theological and political thought and provides a critical reclamation of Calvin's legacy. Rosario Rodríguez presents Calvin's theology in historical context and explores his global impact by examining Calvin's views on a broad range of social and cultural issues, such as political theology, migration and dislocation, nationalism, social welfare policies, revolution, racism, and religious pluralism. Rosario Rodríguez shows how Calvin's theological legacy impacted the formation of 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.
