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.

The second volume of John Calvin's lectures on Ezekiel, in Henry Beveridge's English translation. Calvin continues through the prophet's charges against Jerusalem, his warnings to the watchman, and God's promises to seek His scattered sheep. Though the lectures break off partway through the book, they show Calvin at his plainest: explaining hard Scripture carefully and applying it to repentance and hope.
