Sermons on 2 Timothy
Preaching is the lifeblood of the Christian church. In every age God has used
the proclamation of his word to bring men and women to repentance and faith in
Christ, and to help them grow in grace.
Throughout his long ministry in Geneva (1536-38, 1541-64), Calvin was a
tireless preacher. He spoke of course to a specific congregation and at a
particular point in time. Even so his sermons have travelled well across both
time and space. God's word is not bound by history or geography, and Calvin's
French has a robust plainness and directness which allows it to cross barriers
of language and culture with relative ease.
Of the 101 sermons which the Reformer preached in 1554-55 on the Pastoral
Letters, thirty, on Paul's second letter to Timothy, are presented here. They
have been newly translated from the original French. They offer a clear,
forthright exposition of the biblical text, but also challenge the reader to
live out the truths taught, since to be profitable God's word must transform
the way we think, feel and act. In Calvin's hands the sermon is an instrument
of real and lasting change.
This volume completes the translation into modern English of Calvin's Sermons
on the Pastoral Letters of the apostle Paul. The companion volumes of Calvin's
Sermons on First Timothy (2018) and Calvin's Sermons on Titus (2015) are also
available from the Trust.
