McNiell, John Thomas. The History and Character of Calvinism. New York: Oxford University Press, 1962. Dr. McNeill offers a taste of the wide, international influence that came from Calvin’s Genevan Academy, as well as his letters to kings, queens, and princes as well as his writings (196). Hooker will talk of Calvin’s pervasive influence in the CoE while Laud, later, England's worst ABC, will issue his interminable and toxic belchings from Canterbury and Lambeth (196). Greg Allison’s “Historical Theology:” Prof. Allison gives glorious quotes from Luther and Calvin on the penal, vicarious, satisfaction and ransom views of Christ’s expiatory, propitiatory and justifying work.
