Happy Birthday Calvin

Today would be John Calvin’s 499th birthday. Does that have much influence on us today? in many ways yes, but not near as much as his next birthday. In 356 days John Calvin’s 500th birthday will bring much to talk about in the legacy that he brought about to the bride of Christ. The  church is in much debt to Calvin and his work with the church and in the next year, there will be a large amount of discussion I am sure. One place that I can assure you is the new Calvin 500 Blog that is lunching today. I am extremely happy to be able to be the administrator and one of the many bloggers that will partake in this blog. Along with me will be a host of men that will help this discussion about the quincentenary of Calvin’s birth. The blog will help foster a healthy discussion for an international community about events, conferences, tours, reviews, studies, discussions, and developments related to the 2009 quincentenary of Calvin’s birth. The writers that have so far committed to blogging along with David Hall and myself are; Joel Beeke, Ligon Duncan, Darryl Hart, Sebastian Hecht, Jon Payne, Geoffrey Thomas, Timothy Russell, and Daniel Wilson. Please take the time over the next year to check out the Calvin 500 Blog anf be sure to check it enormous amounts of time with updates, discussions and articles dealing with Calvin’s 500th birthday.
