Friends of Calvin is a collection of short pieces telling of the friendships that 24 people had with one of the giants of the Protestant Reformation, John Calvin. In each piece Van den Berg sketches a short biography of the friend and describes the nature of their relationship with Calvin.

This is a rare look at the "austere" Calvin's relationships, from his mentors, to his wife, to his friendships both within and without Protestantism. This was a valuable book for my research on Calvin's character and personal life.
