to explain the Reformation and Protestant beliefs
Calvin wrote the Institutes as a systematic statement and defense of Reformed theology—to instruct believers, clarify Protestant doctrine, and respond to critics—rather than to support Catholic practices, defend an annulment, or primarily to refute Luther.
