Which Edition of the Institutes?

If wishes were horses . . . I would like a copy of the 1536 edition of the Institutes.

In addition to or instead of the 1559 edition? It's my understanding that the 1559 edition is considered the definitive one. Is that not correct?

Not to answer for the good DMcFadden but it is always interesting and profitable to trace the developpment of a theological work, the direction that Calvin was travelling theogically is immensely interesting.

Absolutely! From his relatively smallish six chapter book to the sine qua non of Reformed thought in the 1559 edition, what a journey! Calvin kept expanding his work writing five major Latin editions in his lifetime (1536, 1539, 1543, 1550, and 1559). He translated the first French edition of the Institutes in 1541 himself and supervised the three later French translations.

When visiting Grand Rapids this summer, it was my privilege to touch and examine a first edition of the 1561 English translation!!! Yes, it would be wonderful to have more than the 1559 definitive edition.

When looking through Logos this afternoon I was surprised that the library does not appear to include Luther's "Bondage of the Will".

This is one of the most important works the Church has and is still a great read.

Any chance of it appearing on Logos?

I think this is called coveting!
