Sermons on Genesis 1-11

Chapters 1-11.John Calvin is generally thought of as the greatest theologian of the Protestant Reformation or as a gifted Bible
commentator whose insights into the text of Scripture are still highly valued
today.  Yet it is not widely known that the greatest obligation Calvin
felt was not to his fellow scholars, nor even to his students, but to the
ordinary people - citizens of Geneva and persecuted refugees, shopkeepers and
merchants, the young and the old - who crowded St. Peter's Church no less than
ten times a fortnight to listen to his sermons in French.Calvin's
sermons have lain for too long in the shadow of his commentaries.  In
seeking to correct this imbalance, it should be remembered that a sermon serves
a very different purpose from a commentary.  While explanation and
interpretation are enough for students, they are never enough for a
congregation of sinners.  That is why Calvin's sermons always combine the
essential elements of all true preaching - exposition, exhortation and
practical application.  So let the reader be warned: this volume contains
lively preaching!  Calvin aims to awaken the conscience and also demands
life-changing action.  Is it any wonder that such preaching was used by
God to bring spiritual renewal on an unprecedented scale to the people and
nations of sixteenth-century Europe?'In his masterful
translation McGregor has quite wonderfully brought the preacher back to
life and allowed us the privilege of being able, with a little imagination, to
take our places in St. Peter's Church on those cold autumn and winter days with
the Reformer himself in the pulpit.' -  J.R. de
