Gestalten des Protestantismus #[3]

Against a bold red background, this 2009 Evangelisches Medienhaus release brings the life of Reformation figure Johannes Calvin (1509–1564) to vivid comic form, with Bruno Congar's artwork depicting a focused Calvin at his writing desk alongside interior panel glimpses of period-costumed figures in dramatic conversation. The cover's "In Wort und Bild" ("In Word and Image") banner perfectly captures the book's mission: telling Calvin's story through both text and Congar's detailed, historically grounded illustration. A handsome addition to the Gestalten des Protestantismus series for anyone curious about the Reformation era.
