Calvin's Writings On Ephesians: The Expansive Commentary Collection

THE EXPANSIVE COMMENTARY COLLECTION is a new release of much loved and oft used commentaries. Each commentary is beautifully formatted with every verse given an uncluttered presentation for ease of reference and use. We have taken great care to provide you with each individual commentary as it was intended and written by the original author. In this volume we give you John Calvin’s commentary on Paul’s Epistle to the Ephesians. One of the father’s of the Reformation, John Calvin, has been given a prominent place in today’s theology. Indeed his very name has been lent to a system of theology – Calvanism. Born in Noyon, France on 10th July 1509 he carried on the work of the Reformation, which had recently begun. He had trained as a humanist lawyer and broke away from the Catholic Church around 1530. His new-found religion caused tension that led to him fleeing France, eventually settling in Geneva, Switzerland. Calvin is a spiritual giant whose mind was exceptional in producing theological writing and sermons. Reading Calvin today may be secondary to the impossibility of hearing him but there is no doubt that his words still carry the weight of Biblical truth. As a commentary the value of John Wesley’s contribution must not be underestimated. His writing is doctrinal but not dogmatic. He shines new light on various passages but all the time remaining true to the biblical meaning. This work was translated by the Calvin Translation Society who published these works between 1846-51.
