Commentary on Hebrews Author(s): Calvin, John (1509-1564) (Alternative) (Translator) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: In this volume, John Calvin provides an engaging commentary on the book of Hebrews. Calvin is an apt commentator, one of the Reformation's best. He always interacts with other theologians, commentators, and portions of the Bible when interpreting a particular passage. He frequently offers his own translations of a passage, explaining the subtleties and nuances of his translation as well. He has a penchant for in- corporating keen pastoral insight into the text.This volume also contains extensive, informative notes from the editor. Despite many years, many readers have found Calvin's Commentary on Hebrews both instructive and interesting.
