"I have shown above that Christ was in great measure defrauded. True, he is called righteousness and salvation, but so that men still procure salvation for themselves, by the merit of their works; for this inestimable gift."
Reforming the Church is a lesser known work by Calvin. In it, he makes a personal appeal to King Charles V for the cause of the "reformers." Though they did not consider themselves as deviants from the True Church, many would have begged to differ. This required Calvin to present a biblical case before the Holy Roman Emperor and make a defense of the distinctives of Reformed orthodoxy.
