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.

In his Harmony of the Law, John Calvin weaves the last four books of Moses, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, into a single ordered commentary, arranging parallel passages together. This is volume two of the work, in the Beveridge translation. Calvin explains the law's ceremonies, judgments, and promises with his usual clarity, and draws out their abiding instruction for the church.
