Bøger af John Calvin

This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. This volume is one of twelve classic commentaries by John Calvin, theologian par excellence of the Reformation, whose expositions of Scripture remain as relevant as ever. Edited by David W. Torrance and Thomas F. Torrance, these twelve commentaries on the New Testament bring Calvin's authoritative voice to life in clear contemporary English. The translations all strive to retain the close coherence of Calvin's ideas and characteristic images while remaining faithful to the Latin text -- doing full justice to the Reformer's qualities as one of history's finest expositors of the Word of God.

Because Calvin was a sound exegete, little of what he wrote is dated. Althought his treatment of the early chapters is thorough, it is not disproportionate, and the later narratives concering Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph are not passed over hastily. Indeed, Calvin excels in bringing out the principles of God's dealings with men, as individuals and in covenant, and in showing faithfully yet tenderly the human weakness and sin all too evident in Genesis.

Now available in J.K.S. Reid's widely-praised translation, this is Calvin's most sustained treatment of the central theme of his theological writings, predestination.

One of history's greatest Bible expositors looks at the centralthemes of the book of Acts and the formation of the New TestamentChurch. A Crossway Classic Commentary.

Focusing his writing on the Papal church and taking a direct Biblical approach, Calvin wrote this magnum opus to lay out what it means to be a Christian and also the core beliefs that every believer should hold on to. Although the contents in this book have been debated hotly for many centuries, the fact remains that without this text we would not have the diversity that exists within the church today. Many other Protestant writers wrote their own theology texts to counter the claims about scripture that Calvin wrote about in here. Now in larger print!
