Think ''Calvin'' and you think ''reformer.'' But a major---often neglected---role of Calvin as a reformer was ''preacher.'' Weaving together historical detail and theological substance, Parker describes the theological considerations that moved Calvin to preach the way he did, considers Calvin's view of the preacher's office and the congregation's duty, and chronicles Calvin's distinctive expository method. ''A solid presentation of material not currently available in English,'' says Donald McKim. 240 pages, paper from Westminster.

This rare and important study of John Calvin's sermons gives a complete review of Calvin's preaching activity, purpose, method, and style. Included are the theological considerations that moved Calvin to preach the way he did; his view of the preacher's office, his duty, and the congregation's active participation; a historical account and the preservation of his preaching; Calvin's expository method and the way he applied scripture to the needs of the congregation; and the form of the sermons and the "familiar" style that was employed.

T. H. L. Parker was a widely respected authority on Calvin's life and thought. He was Reader in Theology at the University of Durham in England.
