John Calvin (1509-1564) was a prominent Christian theologian during the Protestant Reformation. Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion, written when he was 26, is still read today.

John Knox was an ordained priest in the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland at the time when John Calvin began the Reformation of Geneva, Switzerland. When his close friend was burned at the stake by Catholic Scotland, Knox became the enemy of the Roman Catholic Church. Mary Queen of Scots and Knox each tried to convert the other. In response to Knox’s imprecatory prayers, Mary is reputed to have said, “I fear the prayers of John Knox more than all the assembled armies of Europe.”

Justice Lifts the Nations Print
11 x 15 print (unframed)


Caption under the print reads:
Paul Robert’s Justice Lifts the Nations “is on the stairway in the old Supreme Court Building in Lausanne where the judges had to pass each time before going to try a case. Robert wanted to remind them that the place which the Reformation gave to the Bible provided a basis not only for morals but for law. Robert pictured many types of legal cases in the foreground and the judges in their black robes standing behind the judges’ bench. The problem is neatly posed: How shall the judges judge? On what basis shall they proceed so that their judgment will not be arbitrary? Above them Robert painted Justice standing unblindfolded, with her sword pointed not vertically upward but downward toward a book, and on the book is written The Law of God…. Down in the foreground of the large mural the artist depicts many sorts of litigation—the wife against the husband, the architect against the builder, and so on. How are the judges going to judge between them? ‘This is the way we judge in a Reformation country,’ says Paul Robert. He has portrayed Justice pointing with her sword to a book upon which are the words, “The Law of God.” For Reformation man there was a basis for law. Modern man has not only thrown away Christian theology; he has thrown away the possibility of what our forefathers had as a basis for morality and law.” –Francis A. Schaeffer.

Martin Luther Print
8 x 11 black & white print (unframed)

Martin Luther (1483 - 1546) Martin Luther dealt the symbolic blow that began the Reformation when he nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Church. That document contained an attack on papal abuses and the sale of indulgences by church officials. But Luther saw the Reformation as something far more important than a revolt against ecclesiastical abuses. He believed it was a fight for the gospel. Luther even stated that he would have happily yielded every point of dispute to the Pope, if only the Pope had affirmed the gospel. The doctrine of justification by faith–the teaching that Christ’s own righteousness is imputed to those who believe– in Luther’s estimation, was at the heart of the gospel. On that ground alone, they are accepted by God.

The Reformers Translating the Bible Print
11 x 15 black & white print (unframed)

Philipp Melanchthon, Martin Luther, Johannes Bugenhagen, and Kasper Cruciger

German author of the Confession of Augsburg of the Lutheran Church (1530), specialist in the humanities, Reformer, theologian, and educator, Philipp Melanchthon (1497-1560) was a friend of Martin Luther and defended his views. Because of his academic expertise he was asked to help in founding schools, and he virtually reorganized the whole educational system of Germany, founding and reforming several of its universities.

Johannes Bugenhagen (1485-1558), introduced the Protestant Reformation in Pomerania and Denmark in the 16th century. "Doktor Pomeranus", as Martin Luther called him, soon became one of the most effective reformers. Besides his job as the parish pastor in Wittenberg and personal counselling of Luther, he also held lectures in theology at the university in Wittenberg (today Martin Luther University).

Kasper Cruciger (1504-1548) was a reformed German scholar who served as Martin Luther's secretary at many of the significant theological discussions in the early to mid sixteenth century. One of the scholar's most notable contributions to the study of Reformation history was his preservation in shorthand of many of Luther's lectures and sermons.
