Commentary on Genesis - Volume 1

About this book

The first volume of John Calvin's commentary on Genesis, in Henry Beveridge's English translation. Calvin begins with creation, the fall, the flood, and the lives of the patriarchs, treating Moses' history as a mirror of God's providence and grace. His exposition is measured and reverent, resisting speculation and drawing the reader back to what the text actually says.
