Full Calvin commentary (but not of the whole Bible). We are very pleased to make available a new printing of Calvin's Commentary which marks the 500th anniversary of his birth in 1509. In addition to the 22 commentary volumes, the set includes the Hendrickson edition of Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion. Calvin is truly the father of post-Reformation commentators. The more he is read the more his great genius is appreciated. He always traces the overall meaning of a passage or event, revealing a whole drift of argument. In the Old Testament he at times is the most devotional of commentators. Spurgeon said of these volumes, 'It would not be possible for me too earnestly to press upon you the importance of reading the expositions of that prince among men, John Calvin . . . I affirm that he excels beyond all comparison in the interpretation of Scripture.'
