Zusammenfassung:Calvin in the Institutes illustrates the truth of the observation that Reformers claimed to be better interpreters of Augustine as well as of the scriptures. Calvin's assessment of Augustine's authority was high. He used Augustinian ideas to combat radical. Lutheran and Roman teaching on the Eucharist, and to formulate his own doctrine.
