The Life of a Christian Man

The Life of a Christian Man by John Calvin presents a concise guide to Christian living rooted in Scripture and Reformed theology. Calvin outlines the marks of true discipleship, emphasizing self-denial, obedience to God, humility, patience, and perseverance amid suffering. Rather than abstract doctrine, the work focuses on practical godliness, showing how faith shapes daily conduct, vocation, and endurance in trials. Drawn largely from Calvin’s *Institutes*, this work offers a pastoral and ethical vision of the Christian life ordered toward God’s glory.
