Geneva is celebrating the "Calvin 2009 year," which marks the 500th anniversary of the birth of this formative figure of the Reformation. Calvin was born July 10, 1509.
Check out's an RNS story about evangelical Christians' interest in Calvin (Full disclosure: My husband wrote it). An excerpt:
Young evangelicals are scooping up books by neo-Calvinist authors, packing churches and conventions led by Calvinist preachers and studying at staunchly Calvinist seminaries. They're blogging their way through Calvin's behemoth "Institutes of the Christian Religion," setting up Facebook fan clubs and opening Twitter feeds.
