John Calvin turned 500 today – sort of…

From Calvin500.com: “John Calvin was a theologian, pastor, biblical exegete, and tireless apologist for Reformed Christianity, and ranks among the most important thinkers in church history. His theological works, biblical commentaries, tracts, treatises, sermons, and letters helped establish the Reformation as a legitimate and thriving religious movement throughout Europe. No theologian has been as acclaimed or assailed as much as Calvin.” Also check out more on Calvin’s big 5-0-0 at Desiring God and The Resurgence.

    Cute… but I’m not sure even someone who deeply respects Calvin would declare him a deity. :-)
