Over John Calvin's Institutes in a Year

Ever stared at John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion on your shelf and thought, “One day I’ll finally read that… but where would I even start?”This podcast is for that moment.Calvin’s Institutes in a Year is a guided, day-by-day journey through one of the most influential works in Christian theology. Together, we read through the entire Institutes over the course of a full year—one manageable section at a time—so that a book many admire from a distance finally becomes something you actually finish.Each daily episode is short, focused, and intentional. We keep the pace steady, the sections approachable, and the explanations clear, helping you follow Calvin’s arguments without feeling buried under the weight of a theological classic. No rushing. No intimidation. Just faithful reading, thoughtful reflection, and steady progress.This is not a lecture series and it’s not a shortcut. It’s a companion for the long walk—designed for pastors, students, Reformed readers, and anyone who wants to understand historic Christian doctrine at a deeper level by actually reading the text.If you want more than just listening, you’re invited to read along with us at ThroughTheChurchFathers.com where you’ll find the full reading schedule, written texts, and the ability to comment and discuss alongside others making the same journey.If the Institutes has always felt important but unreachable, this is your invitation to finally open it—one day at a time.We begin January 1, 2026Explore the Project:Through the Church Fathers – https://www.throughthechurchfathers.comPatreon – https://www.patreon.com/cmichaelpattonCredo Courses – https://www.credocourses.comCredo Ministries – https://www.credoministries.org

Calvin's Institutes: July 7

Podcast Description Continuing through John Calvin’s robust defense of divine sovereignty, he dismantles the objections that God is unjust for predestinating humanity to corruption, that His judgments are incomprehensible to finite minds, and that predestination removes human responsibility for sin—affirming that all things, including the wicked, serve God’s sovereign purposes and that His will remains the supreme standard of justice.

Calvin's Institutes: July 5

Podcast Description In this powerful exploration of divine election, John Calvin directly confronts the tension between God’s universal gospel call and his particular choice of the elect, showing how Scripture upholds both without contradiction while grounding our faith in the unchanging mercy and justice of God.

Calvin's Institutes: July 4

Today’s Readings Podcast Description God’s election is not based on human merit or foreseen works, but on his sovereign mercy alone. In these sections from John Calvin’s Institutes, Calvin shows that Christ’s words and Paul’s teaching in Romans 9 confirm that the Father gives certain ones to the Son, and that this gracious choice stands firm despite human unbelief. This doctrine humbles us and anchors our assurance in the unchanging purpose of God.

Calvin's Institutes: July 3

Today’s Readings Podcast Description The doctrine of election is not based on human merit or foreseen works, but on God’s sovereign mercy alone. In these sections from John Calvin’s Institutes, Calvin carefully examines Paul’s teaching in Romans 9, showing how God’s choice of Jacob over Esau and the remnant of Israel demonstrates that salvation rests entirely on the free and gracious will of God. This truth humbles all boasting and anchors our hope in the unchanging purpose of the Lord.
