“Today John Calvin is often thought of only as a theologian. However, he was first and foremost a preacher of the word of God. Here his sermon series through 1 Timothy is made accessible in English once again. Previously these sermons were available only in a rough facsimile of a 1579 translation. In this volume the language and spelling have been updated to give better access to these powerful sermons preached during a time of intense struggle in the church in Geneva.
Significantly different from Calvin’s commentaries, these sermons show Calvin the pastor with a deep evangelistic burden. The sermons are valuable for personal reading, sermon preparation, reflection on pastoral ministry, and as models for sermons.”
Indeed John Calvin was always a Judeo-Christian pastor-teacher! His Genevan Academy produced such good men as Theodore Beza and Francis Turretin, both in the main just like Calvin, both pastoral and biblical-teachers!
