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, \u003cem\u003eThe Secret Providence of God\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this new English translation of Calvin's work, editor Paul Helm reintroduces \u003cem\u003eThe Secret Providence of God\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Helm\u003c\/strong\u003e (MA, Worcester College) is a teaching fellow at Regent College in Vancouver.
