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

John Calvin's commentaries on Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and Haggai, in Henry Beveridge's English translation. Three shorter prophets speak to God's people in dark days: Habakkuk learns to rejoice in God amid unanswered questions, Zephaniah proclaims the day of the Lord, and Haggai calls the returned exiles to rebuild God's house. Calvin expounds each with brevity, candor, and pastoral care.
