Commentary on Galatians and Ephesians

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

John Calvin's commentaries on Galatians and Ephesians in one volume, in Henry Beveridge's English translation. On Galatians, Calvin defends justification by faith alone against every return to the law; on Ephesians, he unfolds God's eternal purpose in Christ, the unity of the church, and the Christian's walk and warfare. Two of Paul's greatest letters expounded with brevity and force.
