Commentary on Genesis - Volume 2

by 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 Genesis, in Henry Beveridge's English translation. Calvin continues through the histories of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, tracing God's covenant promise as it passes from father to son amid human weakness and sin. The volume closes with Joseph's forgiveness of his brothers and Jacob's blessings, rich in teaching on providence and faith.
