Commentary on Isaiah - Volume 1

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 first volume of John Calvin's commentary on Isaiah, in Henry Beveridge's English translation. Calvin opens the greatest of the prophets: Judah's sin and coming judgment, the call of Isaiah, and the first promises of Immanuel and the Prince of Peace. His exposition is full and deliberate, treating Isaiah as a teacher of repentance, faith, and consolation for the church.
