Edited by David W. Torrance and Thomas F. Torrance, these twelve commentaries on the New Testament bring Calvin's authoritative voice to life in clear contemporary English. The translations all strive to retain the close coherence of Calvin's ideas and characteristic images while remaining faithful to the Latin text -- doing full justice to the Reformer's qualities as one of history's finest expositors of the Word of God.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e(1509-1564) One of the most influential reformers, his work was of significance throughout Europe and beyond. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e John Calvin was born in Noyon, France on July 10, 1509. His father was the secretary and attorney for the bishopric of Noyon. Calvin was a brilliant scholar and studied law in Paris, Orleans and Bourges. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After what he called a \"sudden conversion\" at the age of 23, Calvin became a fervent Christian and scholar of the Scripture. Calvin did not immediately break with the Roman Catholic Church, but rather worked toward its reform. His pleas for reform soon brought upon him the hatred of the Catholic Church, and in time he was banished from Paris. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Calvin fled to Switzerland, broke with the Catholic Church, and joined with the reformers. In 1536 he published his famous Institutes of the Christian Religion, which was a systematic presentation of the Protestant position. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In 1559 he founded what later became the University of Geneva. Here he taught his beliefs to thousands of students who in turn carried \"Calvinism\" back to their homelands throughout Europe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e John Calvin died in Geneva, Switzerland on May 27, 1564.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 310\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 9.2 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 24, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52740152197427,"sku":"9780802808028","price":43.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/RjQ3Sk0vVjgwYmprcnlsNDRTczNTdz09.webp?v=1764065096","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/calvins-new-testament-commentaries-matthew-mark-luke-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
