This is one of Calvin's most important works on the central topic of predestination, which has been translated and introduced by J. K. S. Reid. This treatise is the longest and most sustained exposition which Calvin wrote on the subject that epitomises his theological approach. It supplies more than a bare statement about a God who, for his glory, apportions equally the lot of both the redeemed and the rejected; at a more profound level it also sets forth the theory of a God of grace. Professor J. K. S. Reid's widely praised translation has been used as a model for other translations of Reformation texts. It is now available for the first time in paperback.

Commentaries on the Epistles of Paul the Apostle to the Philippians, Colossians, and Thessalonians (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Commentaries on the Epistles of Paul the Apostle to the Philippians, Colossians, and Thessalonians While luke makes mention only of two individuals Lydia and the Jailer - with their respective households, as the fruits of the first preaching of the Gospel at Philippi, it clearly appears, from the Epistle to the Philippians, that from these small beginnings a ﬂourishing Christian Church had sprung up, which, at the time when the Epistle was written, was in so prosperous a state, that the Apostle, who reproves so sharply the Churches of corinth and galatia, finds no occasion for censuring the philippians, but com mends in the highest terms their exemplary deportment.
