(Publication details not specified).
(In file 369 p.).John Calvin (1509–1564) was an influential theologian and pastor during the Protestant Reformation. He was a principal figure in the development of the system of Christian theology later called Calvinism.
Commentary on Philippians, Colossians, and Thessalonians is another impressive commentary by Calvin on several Pauline epistles. Calvin is regarded as one of the Reformation's best interpreters of scripture. He frequently offers his own translations of a passage, explaining the subtleties and nuances of his translation. He has a penchant for incorporating keen pastoral insight into the text as well. He always interacts with other theologians, commentators, and portions of the Bible when interpreting a particular passage. Further, this volume also contains informative notes from the editor. Calvin's Commentary on Philippians, Colossians, and Thessalonians should not be ignored by anyone interested in those books or Calvin himself.
