In 1558 John Calvin held a prominent position of leadership in the Reform movement. He had written prolifically and his works had been widely circulated-and critiqued. It was at this time that he penned an answer to a critique of his position on divine providence, as articulated in the 1546 edition of the Institutes. His polemical defense of his beliefs, *The Secret Providence of God*, reflects the boisterous, argumentative tone of the Reformation era and is Calvin's fullest treatment on this most important doctrine. Unfortunately, in recent decades this work has been largely forgotten.??With this new English translation of Calvin's work, editor Paul Helm reintroduces *The Secret Providence of God* to students, pastors, and lay readers of Reformed theology. Translator Keith Goad has modernized the English while preserving a Latinized translation style as far as possible. Helm has provided a full introduction, discussing the work's background, content, style, and relation to Calvin's other writings on providence.? ***-Publisher.***

Here Calvin responds to some objections against his view on God's sovereignty. Some of these objections are still commonly raised today, so this is helpful reading for both sides of the debate regarding Calvin's view. Opponents to Calvin's view may find that some of their objections come from a misunderstanding of what Calvin claimed; proponents may learn how to defend this view.
