Sacred and Profane History of the World Connected Volumes 1-4
"When I got this book on a hot spring day, I was just amazed at the quality of this book. I looked at the front cover, with its gilded title, then to the side binding, and to my surprise, there were several sections that were embossed with a floral design. the pages are gilded, but the gilding went all around the pages. Just comes to show the quality of Tolle Lege Press. I opened it up to find that the printing had this antique look to it. Where the ink had spattered on the page, and how the columns were just off center. I turned to the first map of where the Garden of Eden once was, and all the lakes and the rivers that flowed into the Garden were all there. And the second map, depicting where the descendants of Noah went after the flood. In the first volume there are three fold out maps, it was just so charming. A delight to just look at on the bookshelf. This is an extremely special book."

The Calvin Legacy Edition of the 1599 Geneva Bible
On July 10, 2009, the world will celebrate the 500th anniversary of the birth of John Calvin (1509-1564). A controversial and often misunderstood theologian, Calvin’s impact on our modern world is simply beyond comprehension.
The great American historian George Bancroft stated, “He that will not honor the memory, and respect the influence of Calvin, knows but little of the origin of American liberty.” The famous German historian, Leopold von Ranke, wrote, “John Calvin was the virtual founder of America.” John Adams, the second president of the United States, agreed: “Let not Geneva be forgotten or despised. Religious liberty owes it most respect.”
Building on Calvin’s remarkable legacy, Tolle Lege Press is pleased to announce the upcoming release of a special version of the 1599 Geneva Bible to honor him and his enduring influence—The Calvin Legacy Edition. This new edition will feature an extensive introduction by Dr. David Hall, Executive Director of the Calvin 500 celebration (www.Calvin500.org). Dr. Hall highlights John Calvin’s influence on the Geneva Bible, the Reformation, and the world. A CD-ROM will also be included with each edition that features the complete Geneva Bible text, Apocryphal books, and metrical Psalms.
