This selection of the writings of John Calvin (1509 1564) is the first for general readers to appear in many years. It showcases his powerful legacy, which has had far-reaching consequences for the development of religion and culture in Western Europe and in the shaping of American identity.Calvin was a prodigious preacher and writer, and his sermons, Bible commentaries, tracts, and letters fill dozens of volumes. The works chosen for John Calvin: Steward of God s Covenant highlight ideas central to the Reformation but also to his influence on modern life, e.g., the importance of a work ethic and the notion of being called to action in the world; his belief in universal education for boys and girls; and his belief in the sanctity and freedom of individual conscience. Calvin s theology of the elect of God motivated the English and Dutch Calvinists who settled the Atlantic seaboard, their Promised Land. The traditions of their communities and churches and laws produced the widespread present-day American belief in a divinely favored national destiny. In her brilliant preface to this edition, Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Marilynne Robinson makes the clearest connection between John Calvin s own biblical and patristic heritage and the heritage he in turn left the modern world."

"There's nothing else like Calvin's treatment of prayer... Calvin is both theological and practical, and as usual, he is very comprehensive. This is a rarity-deep theology with a spiritually elevated tone and savor that makes the reader want to pray."-Timothy Keller in Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with GodJ.I. Packer calls this: "A classic minitreatise on the proper mindset for praying and the Lord's Prayer as a pattern for doing so."John Calvin's work on prayer from The Institutes of Christian Religion has nourished souls and sparked a desire to pray for almost 500 years. His hallmark chapter on prayer is now available as a stand-alone book, making rich theology more accessible and affordable for those who might not otherwise stumble across it. Readers of The Chief Exercise of Faith: John Calvin on Prayer will cover a wide scope of what prayer is and how to pray: - Why prayer is the chief exercise of faith- What it means to pray in Jesus' name- Calvin's Four Rules for Prayer- Calvin's exposition of each of the six petitions of the Lord's Prayer- And more."So true is it that we dig up by prayer the treasures that were pointed out by the Lord's gospel, and which our faith has gazed upon." (John Calvin)May this book encourage you to pick up your shovel and dig up gospel treasures by prayer.
These forty-six letters and writings of John Calvin, translated into English, demonstrate how Calvin applied the theology of the Institutes and the biblical exegesis of his commentaries to issues of everyday life. Here, Calvin gives advice to individuals and groups about theology, ethics, worship, politics, economics, and church practices. Topics discussed include dogmatics and polemics, changes (and the need for changes) in religion, the worship of images, ecclesiastical discipline, marriage, and justice. Each writing is introduced by an identification of the receiver of the advice and an explanation of the subject matter itself. This volume is useful for understanding Calvin's theology and its application to Christian life.
This volume contains John Calvin's commentary on chapters 11-21 of the Gospel of John and the First Epistle of John. Calvin, theologian par excellence of the Reformation, laid the foundation for all later Proestent exegesis of the Bible. Marked by an honest, careful handling of the text, Calvin's expositions of Scripture remain as "modern" as ever in their relevance to today's student.
For hundreds of years Christendom has been blessed with Bible commentaries written by great men of God highly respected for their godly walk and their insight into spiritual truth. The Crossway Classic Commentaries series presents the very best work on individual Bible books, carefully adapted for maximum understanding and usefulness for today's believers. The Gospel of John, called "the spiritual gospel" in early church history, is among the most profound books of the New Testament. A powerful portrayal of the earthly life and ministry of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, it explores precious tenets of the faith—Christ's nature, His reasons for coming to earth, His determination to fulfill the Father's will by giving His own life for us, the splendor of His miracles, the supremacy of His love. A helpful volume that will enrich the faith of new and mature Christians alike.
