Is there a translation/edition which is considered the "best"?

the Battles edition is the most popular but I like the Beveridge version.

Uh oh...do I need to start a poll?

Is there a republished hardback Beveridge Edition? If so, what's the ISBN?

"It is part of the calling of the ekklesia to learn to know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge and also to make known within the world of science 'the manifold wisdom of God' in order that the final end of theology, as of all things, may be that the name of the Lord is glorified. Theology and dogmatics, too, exist for the Lord's sake." — Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, vol. 1, p. 46

Not that I know of. There are plenty of the hardback editions available used. And, of course, the whole thing is available for free here. I know that wasn't what Josh wants (I don't like reading on a computer screen either!). However, it is at least available.

Battles. I struggled through the first volume in the Beveridge translation, and then purchased the newest John McNeill edition. Breath of fresh air!

I believe that Battles is the preserved text

HOW CAN YOU SAY SO? WHY, YOU MODERNIST ANTI-19TH CENTURY-IST ANTI-BEVERAGE (HMM, SPELLING ANYONE?) ELITIST!!!!!! (Chokes on own bile).

Oh, yes. CCEL has been a good friend to me, particularly when I'm teaching and need a quick copy and past job for a quote.
You'd be surprised how much of my reading has been online for the last few months. It's not too bad...just the migraines...a small price to pay for priceless reading.

Here you go, Josh. Found it from a link on Greenbaggins's blog!

Amazon.com: Institutes of the Christian Religion: Books: John Calvin

OK, that's REALLY embarassing! To tell poor Josh that a new hardback doesn't exist, and then someone finds it because of a link on my own blog.

Thanks, Vic. It's revised, though. About 210 pages less. Hmm...I gues I'll have to print out the plain text version from CCEL.

Looks like you been reading online again by your avatar.

NO...that's me looking at a thread wherein men, such as yourself, have decided to charge me money for mere interaction in said thread.

Man that looks like it hurts. I guess my services will be free now. Charges dropped. I feel a need to relieve your eye strain.

Josh I believe that this isbn is for the Bev. Trans. as published by Jay P. Green in 2 vols. isbn 1589603168
