The Necessity of Reforming the Church


John Calvin
    What were the central grievances which caused Protestants to demand reform? What measures were essential for genuine reformation? Calvin declares the biblical doctrine of justification. The reformer also unfolds the wider scope of the Reformation, as he states the need to restore biblical doctrine and practice regarding the proper means of worship, the correct administration of the sacraments and the government of the church.
