Commentary on Hebrews

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 commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrews, in Henry Beveridge's English translation. Calvin follows the writer's great theme: Christ greater than angels, than Moses, and than the Levitical priesthood, His one sacrifice perfecting those who draw near. The exposition presses weary believers to hold fast their confession and to persevere in faith, hope, and mutual exhortation.
