Commentaries provide a wealth of information to a student of the Bible. We can turn to them when we encounter a passage in Scripture that gives us pause. We can also use them to understand a particular point of view. Both of those can be found in John CalvinÃ¢ÂÂs 22 volume commentary set.

John Calvin was one of the great reformers of the church. He devoted himself to preaching and teaching GodÃ¢ÂÂs Word. Throughout his life he wrote about the doctrines we find in Scripture. His Institutes of Christian Religion is a classic and his commentaries are excellent as well.

He is most known for his teaching on the doctrines of grace, or better known as Calvinism. In this commentary set you will find those doctrines expounded throughout. This shouldnÃ¢ÂÂt be a hindrance to anyone who objects to that teaching because there is so much more in this commentary set than those doctrines. Also, this will give you a better understanding of those doctrines which is a good thing.

As I prepare to teach Sunday School or preach a sermon I turn to Calvin as much as anyone else. His commentaries are an invaluable tool in my Bible study and will be in yours. Your faith will grow as you sit under CalvinÃ¢ÂÂs teaching.

The only books of the Bible Calvin didn't write a commentary on are 2 and 3 John and Revelation.

As an added bonus, you will receive a copy of his Institutes when you order through Christianbook. DonÃ¢ÂÂt pass up this commentary set.

As a member of the church of Christ (re: New Testament) I am not a 'calvinist', but am interested in commentaries in general. Awhile ago, a preacher told me that Calvin's commentaries are actually pretty interesting, and just the other day another one told me that he doubted that Calvin himself would approve of the TULIP thing. Now as I am using this commentary, I am finding things to suggest he may have a point. For example, he says a few things about predestination in his comments on Ephesians chapter one that support that notion.
The set is well bound, and set in a very readable type, comfortable even for an old man like myself. At this great price especially, I highly recommend it.
The 'Institutes' book that came with it is also quite interesting. He makes probably the best case that can be made for what is called 'Infant Baptism', but it just doesn't hold water. This guy had a lot of free time on his hands. And also an opinion of himself that was a bit higher than it should be, otherwise he is an interesting read.

This is truly a great set by one of the greatest minds in Christendom.

I have newer commentaries, but I all ways find myself going back to this set. It is a good balance of application and exegesis.

For this price you can not go wrong. It does not matter if you hold to all the points that Calvin teaches, you will find yourself being blessed by a man whose heart is running after God.
