John Calvin's Commentaries






	John Calvin was a French Protestant theologian during the Protestant Reformation and was a central developer of the system of Christian theology called Calvinism. At the age of twenty-six, Calvin published several revisions of his Institutes of the Christian Religion, a seminal work in Christian theology that is still read today. It was published in Latin in 1536 and in his native French in 1541, with the definitive editions appearing in 1559 (Latin) and in 1560 (French). He also produced many volumes of commentary on most of the books of the Bible. For the Old Testament, he published commentaries for all of the books except the histories after Joshua and the Wisdom literature other than the Book of Psalms. For the New Testament, he omitted only the brief second and third epistles of John and the Book of Revelation. These commentaries, too, have proved to be of lasting value to students of the Bible, and they are still in print after over 400 years.

John Calvin: A Sixteenth-Century Portrait (Paperback), by William J. Bouwsma
In this work, Bouwsma provides a clear and brilliantly argued analysis of Calvin's place in 16th-century European intellectual history, focusing on his thought rather than his life. Bouwsma places Calvin in the context of the humanist rhetorical tradition, the medieval Scholastic tradition, and the biblical scholarship of the Reformation. Thus, he explains how the contradictions in Calvin's thought represented the conflicting value systems of his day. Bouwsma also provides an excellent exposition of Calvin's views on issues of church, state, and society as an attempt to confront the existing anxieties of a transitional era witnessing the collapse of certainty.
