Genesis (John Calvin)

$34.75$39.00

Because Calvin was a sound exegete, little of what he wrote is dated. In Genesis, although his treatment of the early chapters is thorough, it is not disproportionate, and the later narratives concerning 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.

Genesis

A Geneva Series Commentary

Because Calvin was a sound exegete, little of what he wrote is dated. In Genesis, although his treatment of the early chapters is thorough, it is not disproportionate, and the later narratives concerning 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.

Other commentaries in the Geneva Series include:

  • Romans, by Robert Haldane
  • Daniel, by Edward J. Young
  • 1 & 2 Corinthians, by Charles Hodge
  • Proverbs, by Charles Bridges
  • Ephesians, by Charles Hodge

About the Author

John Calvin (1509-1564) the French theologian and reformer was persecuted as a protestant. As a result, he traveled from place to place. In 1534 at Angouleme he began the work of systematizing Protestant thought in the Institutes of the Christian Religion.  Thus, The Institutes became one of the most influential theological works of all time.
