Dr. Michael Haykin, the Director of The Andrew Fuller Center for Baptist Studies, and one of the bloggers at Founders, Dr. Jeff Robinson, have written an important book. One of today’s popular myths says that Calvinism and missionary zeal are incompatible. To the Ends of the Earth: Calvin’s Missional Vision and Legacy sets the record straight. Calvin’s theology was not a hindrance to missions. Rather, John Calvin’s theology provided a robust intellectual framework and practical imperative for missions. You won’t want to miss this one.

Here’s the blurb from Amazon:
Calvinist missionaries. If you think that sounds like an oxymoron, you’re not alone. Yet a close look at John Calvin’s life and writings reveals a man who was passionate about the spread of the gospel and the salvation of sinners.
From training pastors at his Genevan Academy to sending missionaries to the jungles of Brazil, Calvin consistently sought to encourage and equip Christians to take the good news of salvation to the very ends of the earth.
In this carefully researched book, Michael Haykin and Jeffrey Robinson clear away longstanding stereotypes related to the Reformed tradition and Calvin’s theological heirs, highlighting the Reformer’s neglected missional vision and legacy.
