Commentary on Joshua

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

John Calvin's commentary on the Book of Joshua, the work he was completing in the last year of his life, in Henry Beveridge's English translation. Calvin follows Israel's entry into the promised land under Joshua's leadership, drawing lessons on courage, obedience, and God's faithfulness to His promises. A fitting final work from the Reformer, published after his death.
