Quotes by Bruce Gordon  (?)
Quotes are added by the ŷ community and are not verified by ŷ.

“John Calvin had labored for more than twenty years to find that 'order,' an explanation of Christian doctrine that not only instructed readers in the faith but also moved their hearts and minds to accept the truth of the Gospel. Through those years of writing, revision, and additions, Calvin created one of the great books of his age." Bruce Gordon �#‎CalvinsInstitutes�”
Bruce Gordon
