Name: Commentary on Zechariah, Malachi
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 Zechariah and Malachi, the last of his expositions of the prophets, in Henry Beveridge's English translation. Zechariah's night visions encourage a discouraged people rebuilding God's house; Malachi rebukes careless worship and promises the coming messenger. Calvin closes the Old Testament canon with exposition that points his readers forward to Christ and the gospel day.
