2009 is the 500th anniversary of the birth of Calvin, the Reformed theologian whose legacy has played such an important role in the shaping of modern South Africa.

The «evangelical» element in the title refers to the literal meaning of the word – «good news» – which is at the heart of being both Christian and human.
