"Of the commentators I believe John Calvin to be the most candid."

—Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892), Author and Pastor

"Calvin was an exegetical genius of the first order. His commentaries are unsurpassed! He combined in a very rare degree all the essential qualities of an exegete"

—Philip Schaff

"The Number one commentary on the whole Bible. Like Matthew Henry, Calvin didn't complete his expositions. Spurgeon described them as 'worth their weight in gold' and so they are. "

—W.J. Grier, The Best Books

"John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion is perhaps the most important work of systematic theology ever written. Its influence has been formative on my thinking and on the thinking of believers all around the world."

—R. C. Sproul, Author

The Calvin Collection includes two of John Calvin's most studied works - his commentary collection and his Institutes of the Christian Religion.

About Calvin's Commentary
Through his commentaries Calvin developed all the central principles of Calvinism in his strict readings of the Old and New Testaments. Just as many theologians have before, Calvin not only gave excellent analysis of the text, but he also gave scriptural basis for 'Calvinism' itself. Calvin's Commentaries covers the whole of the New Testament except for 2 & 3 John and Revelation. Not included from the Old Testament are the books of Judges, Ruth, 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings, 1 & 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes.

About Institutes of the Christian Religion

Theologian par excellence, John Calvin is best known for his magnum opus-Institutes of the Christian Religion, a theological introduction to the Bible and vindication of Reformation thought. Calvin expounds his theology in its most systematic and detailed form.

Most important tenet of Calvin's Institutes was obedience to God's will as defined in the scriptures. Salvation, he wrote, came by faith in God's grace, mediated through word and sacrament by the power of the Holy Spirit. Good works were consequences of union with Christ in faith, not the means of salvation. Calvin considered the law an indispensable guide to the Christian life; prayer provided nourishment for faith. He argued that faith was a divine gift resulting from God's unconditional decree of election.

Institutes of the Christian Religion was first published in 1536 and in French in 1541. This electronic edition is from 1845 English Edition translated by Henry Beveridge.

About the Author
