Calvinist missionaries.

If you think that sounds like an oxymoron, you’re not alone. Yet a close look at John Calvin’s life, writings, and successors reveals a passion for the spread of the gospel and the salvation of sinners.

From training pastors at his Genevan Academy to sending missionaries to the jungles of Brazil, Calvin consistently sought to encourage and equip Christians to take the good news of salvation to the very ends of the earth. In this carefully researched book, Michael Haykin and Jeffrey Robinson clear away longstanding stereotypes related to the Reformed tradition and Calvin’s theological heirs, highlighting the Reformer’s neglected missional vision and legacy.

  1. “For God So Loved the World”: John Calvin’s Missional Exegesis
  2. “A Sacrifice Well Pleasing to God”: The Dynamics of John Calvin’s Theology of Mission
  3. “How Very Important This Corner Is”: The Calvinistic Missions to France and Brazil
  4. “To Convert the World”: The Puritans and Being Missional in the Seventeenth Century
  5. “Advancing the Kingdom of Christ”: Missional Praying—the Example of Jonathan Edwards
  6. “An Instrument of Establishing the Empire of My Dear Lord”: Developing a Missional Passion—the Way of Samuel Pearce
