Here's How Oregonians will Celebrate Calvin's 500th

In Celebration of John Calvin's 500th birthday Professor James T. Dennison will be presenting three lectures:
Reformation Geneva:
The French Connection (John Calvin) and the
Italian Connection (Francis Turretin)
Working from his latest book, Reformed Confessions of the 16th and 17th Centuries in English
Translation, Volume 1: 1523-1552, James T. Dennison will examine the life, catechisms, and
confessions of John Calvin in an illustrated power-point presentation. Beginning with this Calvin
quincentenary tribute, we will then ‘cross the bridge’ via the Italian Refugee Church in Geneva to the great Reformed scholastic, Francis Turretin. Dennison’s edition of Turretin’s Institutes of Elenctic Theology will provide the context for our final presentation.

Thanks for this, I'd be interested in hearing the talks if they are willing to put them on the web.
I'm reading through Calvin's Institutes in 2009 and have a Resources page that I'll link through to this conference.
Many thanks,
Martyn
