About the Preachers John Calvin (Jean Cauvin)(Born at Noyon in Picardy, France, 10 July, 1509, and died at Geneva, Switzerland May 27, 1564.) Considered to be the father of the standard of orthodox Protestant belief in all the Churches known as 'Reformed.' Calvin wrote a systematic presentation of Christian doctrine and life, known as The Institutes of the Christian Faith in Latin in 1536, and a final edition in 1559). Most important of Calvin's Institutes was obedience to God's will as defined in the scriptures. Salvation, he wrote, came by faith in God's grace, mediated through word and sacrament by the power of the Holy Spirit. Good works were consequences of the union with Christ in faith, not the means of salvation. Calvin considered the law an indispensable guide; prayer provided nourishment for faith. He argued that faith was a divine gift resulting from God's unconditional decree of election. Jonathan Edwards (Born October 5, 1703 in East Windsor, Connecticut; died Princeton, NJ March 24, 1758) Edwards was the leader of 'The Great Awakening' in New England. Edwards was a fine preacher with a great combination of reason and passion which helped him reach out to people of all walks of life. He was an adamant defender of Calvinist theology. Edwards was probably best known for his sermon 'Sinners in hands of an Angry God'. Charles Grandison Finney (Born at Warren, Connecticut 1792, and died August 1875.) Considered my many to be the father of modern revivalism with over 500,000 conversions resulting from his ministry. No one person has influenced the subject of revival in America than Finney. Finney's greatest desire was to become a lawyer, which is a far cry from an evangelist. But while reading Blackstone's Commentaries on Law, he noted continuous references to the Holy Scriptures, which Blackstone viewed as the highest authority in the land. This, along with repeated urging from a friend, moved Finney to buy a Bible, and he soon was reading it more than anything else. On October 10, 1821, out in the woods by himself, he made his decision to give his heart to Jesus. Finney is also known for the 'modern day alter call', which in his day was not something you did as stepping out in faith, but very simply during revivals the local preachers were gathered at the front so that they could pray with those who were making a decision so the local people could be integrated into a local congregation. Martin Luther (Born at Eisleben, Germany 10 November, 1483; died at Eisleben, 18 February, 1546.) Luther is best known for nailing the 95 Thesis to the door of the Wittenberg Church that birthed the Protestant Reformation. Although the document contained an attack on papal abuses and the sale of indulgences by church officials, Luther really felt like the Church, and the Pope himself no longer affirmed the Gospel. Luther felt that the heart of the Gospel was the doctrine of justification by faith – the teaching that Christ's own righteousness is imputed to those who believe, and on that ground alone, they are accepted by God. Robert Murray McCheyne (Born at Edinburgh, Scotland 21 May 1813; died March 25, 1843) McCheyne really poured his heart into ministry. Not only was a he an accomplished Hebrew scholar but he had an excellent taste in music and was one of the first of the
