Name: Commentary on Daniel - Volume 2
Author: John Calvin

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 Daniel, from his Geneva lectures, in Henry Beveridge's English translation. Calvin continues through Daniel's later visions, his great prayer of confession, and the prophecies of kingdoms rising and falling under God's hand. The exposition is sober and restrained, commending humility before mysteries and confidence in God's certain government of history.
