Commentary on Acts - Volume 2

John Calvin (1509–1564) was a French theologian who became the leading figure of the Reformation in Geneva. Trained in law and humanist scholarship, he published the first edition of his Institutes of the Christian Religion in 1536, at twenty-six, and spent his life preaching, lecturing, and organizing the Genevan church. His commentaries on nearly the whole Bible and the final 1559 Institutes anchor our Reformed collection.

About this book

The second volume of John Calvin's commentary on Acts, in Henry Beveridge's English translation. Here Calvin follows the gospel's advance beyond Jerusalem: Paul's missionary journeys, churches planted among the Gentiles, and the apostle's trials, defenses, and voyage to Rome. His notes join close attention to the words of Scripture with steady pastoral application for readers in every age and place.
