Every four years, the International Calvin Congress gathers a wide spectrum of presenters from leading scholars to early-career researchers to learn from each other through several days of plenary lectures, panel sessions, and discussions. This volume of collected essays features current research on John Calvin, with a focus on the impact of the exile experience in early modern Europe. Several contributions explore how exile and return shaped Calvin and Reformed communities more generally, while others shed light on key topics in Calvin research, including explorations of his biblical exegesis, theological insights, and the impact of debates with his contemporaries. This volume brings together both senior scholars and newer voices in Calvin studies.

Dr. Karin Maag is Director of the H. Henry Meeter Center for Calvin Studies at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in the United States. She is currently serving as President of the International Congress on Calvin Research. Prof. Dr. Arnold Huijgen is Professor for Systematic Theology at the Theologische Universiteit Apeldoorn, Netherlands, and secretary of the chair from the International Calvin Congress.
