John Calvin Quotes:

Ocupation: Theologian

Life: July 10, 1509 - May 27, 1564

Birthday: July 10

Death: May 27

As far as sacred Scripture is concerned, however much froward men try to gnaw at it, nevertheless it clearly is crammed with thoughts that could not be humanly conceived. Let each of the prophets be looked into: none will be found who does not far exceed human measure. Consequently, those for whom prophetic doctrine is tasteless ought to be thought of as lacking taste buds.
