Contemplates Calvin's Institutes as practical spiritual theology

For many today, John Calvin is best known as an austere, strictly intellectual teacher of Protestant doctrine. But Matthew Myer Boulton reads him very differently, arguing that for Calvin, Christian theology is properly conceived and articulated primarily for the sake of everyday, practical formation through the church's treasury of spiritual disciplines.

Although Calvin famously opposed the cloister, Boulton shows that his purpose was not the eradication but rather the democratization of spiritual disciplines often associated with monasticism. Ordinary disciples, too, Calvin insisted, should embrace such formative practices as close scriptural study, daily prayer and worship, regular Psalm singing, and frequent celebration of the Lord's Supper. This deeply formational approach to Christian doctrine provides a fruitful template for Protestant theology today -- and tomorrow.

Great Anker Charger
Color: Black, Set name: 2 Pack
Product build quality is great, on par with all other Anker products. Charging is very quick on Pro Max models with 20 watt charging brick and easily connects with USB-C. MagSafe charging works really well, magnets create a strong connection. Only the charging pucks are included.

Solid Anker quality, but listing needs actual dimensions
Color: Black, Set name: 1 Pack
Charging works exactly as you'd expect from Anker. 15W MagSafe-compatible, grips the back of the phone firmly, no heat issues, no drop-offs during overnight charging. Zero complaints on function. My gripe is with the listing, not the product. I was building this into a 3D-printed nightstand dock and needed the exact diameter and thickness to model the recess. Amazon's listing doesn't give you those dimensions, so I spent way too long digging through Q&A and other reviews piecing it together from people who measured theirs with calipers. For a product that people absolutely do integrate into custom mounts, cases, and furniture, leaving out basic physical dimensions is a miss. Weight isn't listed either, which matters if you're mounting it. Fix the listing and this is a 5-star. Compact enough once you have it in hand, plays nicely with a standard USB-C PD brick (not included, worth noting), and compatibility with my MagSafe case was seamless. Included accessories are just the charger and cable, so plan on supplying your own wall adapter. Trust the Anker name, just wish the product page respected buyers enough to publish the measurements.

Even better than the more expensive options
Color: White, Set name: 2 Pack
I’ve tried a few different wireless chargers, and these really impressed me. They charge quickly, connect easily, and stay in place without any fuss. The magnetic hold is strong and reliable, which makes everyday use super convenient. Honestly, they’ve worked even better for me than the Apple ones I’ve used before. Getting a two-pack is also a great value. Definitely a solid upgrade for anyone looking for a dependable charger.

Love anker
Color: White, Set name: 1 Pack
Anker is always my go to. Their products are high quality and reliable. This charger isn’t my main charger, but I have had no problems with it for the few months I’ve had it. It’s perfect for a public area where guests have either a lightning or USB-C port because it charges either type of phone as long as their phone has a magnetic charging back. It does warm up after keep it on it for too long but that’s expected. Great value, worth the buy. just get it lol

These Work with My Pixel 10 Pro
Color: White, Set name: 2 Pack
I purchase these without seeing the "Apple only designation" by accident but I am happy to report that these are working properly with my Pixel 10 Pro. They charge around 12.5W normally with some fluctuation up or down depending on load & need so they're instantly about twice as fast charging as a lot of the other 15W wireless chargers from competitors. I have not experienced the issue with the charger shutting off at 80% and no longer charging past that point. Nor have I had the issue with needing to unplug/re-plug in the charging for it to work each time. Rather, these chargers work at/near the advertised charging power rates, at a reasonable temperature (not overly hot), and fully charge my phone. I believe that the work done by Google/Anker behind the scenes has greatly improved the ability to utilize this product from how it was 3 months ago, let alone the mess that it was 6 months ago. The magnetic attraction is strong enough to stay in place but also not too strong that it is difficult to remove it. And the ability to utilize it while still using my phone is truly great. While I cannot speak for the success of others, I personally am a big fan of the product as a non-Apple phone owner.
