Outline of Calvin's Institutes

I think Calvin is actually quite easy to read, but the large size and extended arguments sometimes make keeping track of the larger picture difficult. What are some good analytical outlines of the Institutes?

I don't mean to sound obvious but the index to his Institutes is actually a really good outline. The Chapter headings are pretty long and show you how he's developing his ideas.

I recommend "Analysis of the Institutes of the Christian Religion of John Calvin" by Ford Lewis Battles.
