After experiencing some church difficulties, I thought I needed to make sure that my theology was not the problem. So, being a Protestant, I looked to history for guidance and settled on Calvin because of his contributions to Protestantism. I took a couple of years and read Calvin's Commentaries as a personal devotion. I have never been the same and heartily recommend Calvin to all Christians.

I would recommend that every believer have a set of Calvin's Commentaries or at least find a friend who does. One of the many qualities Calvin is known for is his brevity and clarity in Bible exposition. The bible student and pastor will bothy benefit from his work. But his Commentaries are also just as valuable for daily devotional reading.

Obviously, I haven't read all of these. I've read bits and pieces throughout and Calvin's sharp exegesis is second to none. Calvin valued Clarity and Brevity and that is apparent throughout.

My "go-to" commentary. I'm rarely disappointed when reading an entry, although sometimes the sections are hard to find--especially the volumes where multiple books are harmonized.

The depth of his understanding of the Scriptures was phenomenal! I use this set regularly in my sermon preparation.

We are reading through the harmony of the evangelists at present. Very readable; very edifying.

Come read commentaries written by one of the greatest exegetes of the Reformation! His clarity, orthodoxy, and love for the Lord all make these a great addition to any library!
