Klappentext
During the past several decades more attention has been focused upon John Calvin's (1509-1564) biblical interpretation as found in his commentaries. In this volume ten essays by scholars specializing in Calvin's exegetical methods examine the approaches and themes Calvin emphasized when he interpreted major portions of Scripture. These essays focus on Calvin's work in his biblical commentaries with appropriate cross-referencing to his other writings, including his sermons. A concluding essay presents an overall view of John Calvin as an interpreter and commentator on Holy Scripture.
