The translation by Ford Lewis Battles is pretty good.

If you want to cite Calvin in an academic paper, the Battles translation is standard. I like Beveridge because I am cheap and Hendrickson has that cool one volume edition out with its re-typeset text. CBD has it even cheaper than Amazon ($14.99). http://www.christianbook.com/Christi...search=1&cms=1
