During the past several decades a growing number of scholars have
come to appreciate the importance of studying John Calvin's
interpretive work as a commentator on Scripture in addition to his
better-known writings on theology. In this volume ten essays by
scholars specializing in Calvin's exegetical methods examine the
approaches and themes Calvin emphasized when he interpreted major
portions of Scripture. These essays focus on Calvin's work in his
biblical commentaries with appropriate cross-referencing to his
other writings, including his sermons. A concluding essay
synthesizes the main features of what has gone before to present an
overall view of John Calvin as an interpreter and commentator on
Holy Scripture. An appreciation of Calvin's exegetical labors and
his work as a biblical commentator are now recognized as key
elements in Calvin scholarship.

John Calvin (1509-64) stands with Martin Luther (1483-1546) as the
premier theologian of the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation.
Calvin's thought spread throughout Europe to the New World and
later throughout the whole world. His insights and influence
continue to endure today, presenting a model of theological
scholarship grounded in Scripture as well as providing nurture for
Christian believers within churches across the globe. Dr Donald K.
McKim gathers together an international array of major Calvin
scholars to consider phases of Calvin's theological thought and
influence. Historians and theologians meet to present a full
picture of Calvin's contexts, the major themes in Calvin's
writings, and the ways in which his thought spread and has
increasing importance. Chapters serve as guides to their topics and
provide further readings for additional study. This is an
accessible introduction to this significant Protestant reformer and
will appeal to the specialist and non-specialist alike.
This Companion provides an accessible introduction to Martin Luther for students of theology and history and everyone interested in the life, work and thought of the first great Protestant reformer. Historians and theologians present a complete picture of Luther's major writing themes and the ways in which his ideas spread and continue to be important. The Companion is oriented to those with little or no background in Luther studies, as well as teachers and specialists.
As its name implies, the Reformed tradition grew out of the 16th
century Protestant Reformation. The Reformed churches consider
themselves to be the Catholic Church reformed. The movement
originated in the reform efforts of Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531) of
Zurich and John Calvin (1509-1564) of Geneva. Although the Reformed
movement was dependent upon many Protestant leaders, it was
Calvin's tireless work as a writer, preacher, teacher, and social
and ecclesiastical reformer that provided a substantial body of
literature and an ethos from which the Reformed tradition grew.
Today, the Reformed churches are a multicultural, multiethnic, and
multinational phenomenon. Historical Dictionary of the Reformed
Churches, Third Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and
an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than
1,000 cross-referenced entries on leaders, personalities, events,
facts, movements, and beliefs of the Reformed churches. This book
is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone
wanting to know more about reformed churches.
