I was disputing a few ideas about Lewis, and pointing out a few facts about Calvin.

1. Contrary to other comments, Lewis was a scholar.

2. Contrary to other assumptions, Calvin was not trained as a theologian.

3. Calvin was trained as a lawyer.

4. Calvin wrote the _Institutes_ at age 26, with no biblical or theological formal training whatsoever.

Does anyone dispute these?

We can compare Lewis and Calvin all day, but I don't see the point. My only concern was that we use a bit of fairness: if Lewis' ideas are to be discarded because he wasn't formally trained as a theologian, then we have to discard _Institutes_ as well.

Best regards,
Mike
