A towering figure in the Reformation and prolific scholar and theologian, John Calvin authored not only his famous Institutes of the Christian Religion, but commentaries on twenty-four books of the Old Testament and all of the New Testament except for 2 and 3 John and Revelation. These classic commentaries continue to be valued exegetical reference works for pastors and serious students of the Bible today. Calvin offers a wealth of detail on each verse with no explaining away, no modern ‘politically correct’ spin, all with a deep understanding of the many views and controversies in scripture. This level of articulation and deep insight of scripture has not often been surpassed since his time. Calvin was a model theologian (post Pentacost) that even the Puritans aspired to duplicate, and such is evident in his rich and godly perspective. Calvin does his own exegesis of the original text; allowing him to bring out a unique and delightful interpretation of the scriptures. Each section of scripture is expounded upon, point-by-point. This is a great and enlightening (and CHEAP!) addition to any Christian’s library. Calvin’s efforts to finish a complete commentary of the bible were never achieved, so the following books have no commentaries to them: Judges, Ruth, 1& 2 Samuel, 1& 2 Kings, 1 & 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, 2 & 3 John, and Revelation. Much has been written about the theology of John Calvin. For most, you either love him or hate him. Regardless of whether or not you love or hate him, he is a force to be reckoned with. Calvin was one of the greatest biblical scholars that ever lived. He had an incredible command of the Scriptures in that he did not base his interpretations on one or two passages, but sought to integrate all of the Scriptures’ teaching. His commentaries reflect this well as Calvin shows that he is able to combine solid exegesis with pastoral insight (something lacking in many commentaries today.) Even Jacob Arminius said: «After the reading of Scripture, which I strenuously inculcate, and more than any other … I recommend that the Commentaries of Calvin be read … For I affirm that in the interpretation of the Scriptures Calvin is incomparable, and that his Commentaries are more to be valued than anything that is handed down to us in the writings of the Fathers — so much that I concede to him a certain spirit of prophecy in which he stands distinguished above others, above most, indeed, above all.» Calvin’s comments are still relevant for Christians today, and serve as an excellent resource for pastors and teachers in the church. Regardless of one’s religious views, Calvin’s Commentaries on Scripture are a fabulous resource for exegetical biblical study. John Calvin was a truly great scholar of the Reformation (and hence, of Protestant Christianity). He knew the Scriptures. He knew Church History. He exegeted and systematized and defended and justified and did so in a manner which made Protestantism, especially Reform Protestantism, a sensible and acceptable alternative to Catholic Christianity. In effect, unlike Luther who tried to reform the established Church itself, Calvin set up a new church to replace the old. A Brief Synopsis of Calvin’s theology God Calvin said that there could be no knowledge of self without knowledge of God. All men have a natural awareness of divinity, which is both planted in their minds and made evident through creation. However, man has suppressed or corrupted this knowledge, and confused the creation with the Creator. It is only when men contemplate the greatness of God that they can come to realize their own inadequacy. God is providentially in control of all things that come to pass, including evil things, but this does not make him the author of evil. Man Man is created in the image of God. This image has been marred by the Fall, though not destroyed. Before the Fall, man’s will was truly free; however, now it is corrupt and enslaved to sin. Man is totally unable to seek or choose God unless God chooses him first. Jesus Christ The person of Christ, the God-man, provides the solution to this moral dilemma. Christ is the only possible bridge between God and men. In the Incarnation, God and man were joined inseparably in one person, yet not in such a way that the divine and human were confused. The relationship between Christ’s human and divine natures is paradigmatic for Calvin’s theology whenever the divine touches upon the human. Calvin was the first person to describe the work of Christ in terms of the threefold offices of prophet, priest, and king. As prophet, Christ’s teachings are proclaimed by the apostles for the purpose of our salvation. As priest, Christ’s sacrifice of himself and his mediation before the Father secures the salvation of men. As king, Christ rules the Church spiritually in the hearts of its members. The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit unites men to Christ when Christ is apprehended through faith in the promises of Scripture. The Spirit leads men to Christ; without him, saving faith is impossible. Justification by faith Justification by faith is the material principle of the Reformation. It is based upon the mercy of God, not the merits of humanity. Although the doctrines of election and predestination are linked with Calvin’s name, the doctrine of election actually plays a relatively minor part of Calvin’s theology. As a second-generation Reformer, his primary concern was with the government and organization of the church rather than theology. Nonetheless, Calvin believed in unconditional election. Sacraments Calvin taught two sacraments: baptism and the Lord’s supper. He differed from sacramentalists who believed that the sacraments were a means of receiving justifying grace. Rather, they are the badges, or marks, of Christian profession, testifying to God’s grace. Calvin was a paedobaptist, believing that infants were the proper objects of baptism. He differed from Catholic and Lutheran paedobaptists in arguing that baptism did not regenerate infants. Rather, it symbolized entrance into the New Covenant, just as circumcision did for the Old Covenant. His argument for infant baptism draws many parallels between the two signs. Whereas Luther and the Catholic church believed that Christ’s body was literally present in the Eucharist, and Zwingli taught that the Lord’s Supper was a mere memorial, Calvin took a middle ground between the two positions. The elements were a symbol and therefore could not be the thing they signified; the doctrines of transubstantiation and consubstantiation confused the symbol and the substance. On the other hand, Zwingli’s memorialism divorced symbol and substance completely. Calvin taught that when one receives the bread and wine, which are literal food and drink, in a spiritual sense he receives the spiritual food and drink of the Christian. Christ is spiritually present when the Eucharist is received by faith. Church government Calvin is the founder of the Presbyterian system of church government. At the local level, Calvin’s system consisted of a council of pastors representing the local assembly, and responsible for teaching and shepherding the churches. The Consistory, a larger council comprising pastors and lay elders elected according to district, was responsible for maintaining church discipline and watching over the moral lives of church members. At the regional level is the presbytery, then above this a provincial synod and a national synod. Church government is closely tied to church discipline. Discipline is the ordering of church life in obedience to Christ in response to the teaching of Scripture. It has a threefold aim: the glory of God, purity of the Church, and correction of the offender. The power of the Church to punish offenders was limited to excommunication. Typically, this meant denying them the Lord’s Supper, baptism for them or their children, or marriage. Although in Calvin’s day the Consistory could recommend civil punishment to the city authorities which was often heeded. Calvin and Calvinism Calvinism is most noted for its understanding of soteriology which was codified at the Synod of Dort in 1618-19 in the so-called Five Points of Calvinism. There is some debate as to whether Calvin himself would have affirmed all five points as such. In his writings, he explicitly affirms total depravity, unconditional election, irresistible grace, and the perseverance of the saints. However, his affirmation of limited atonement is implicit at best. Some scholars, such as Norman Geisler, deny that Calvin would have endorsed limited atonement; others, such as Roger Nicole, say that his theology affirms all five points.
