Through this new translation of all of John Calvin's commentaries on the Old Testament, modern readers can for the first time hear the theologian par excellence of the Reformation expounding the Hebrew Bible in clear contemporary English. Based, significantly, on the last editions for which Calvin himself was responsible, this translation effectively supersedes the nineteenth-century Calvin Translation Society version. More accessible and instructive to today's student than any other body of biblical exposition from the Reformation era, these commentaries enlarge the conventional view of Calvin the theologian by offering a revealing picture of Calvin the teacher, exegete, pastor, and person.
