Thank you for creating this memorable & humanized portrait of Calvin with such a striking level of emotional transparency. It serves as a thoughtful & lyrical reminder of the cost of following Christ in Calvin’s era—and in our own time as well.
The way you brought the man from Geneva, to Strasbourg and then to face Geneva again is just striking. The emotional points hit my heart hard, especially never doubt g God’s love but moving from “fear to fear, to fear.” I’d ask “how did you know?” But poets often just do. Thank you.
Wow, this brought John Calvin to life!
This is a powerful work - the very best images, not a word wasted or in an inferior setting.

Wow, just stunning. The rawness speaks to the deeper desperation within us that is difficult to recognize let alone articulate. Love this so much.
