This volume presents readers with a short series of sermons on the Beatitudes, translated for the first time into English by Robert White. They comprise Calvin's exposition of Matthew 5:1-12, Mark 3:13-19 and Luke 6:12-26. Five sermons were preached on the Beatitudes in the course of an extended treatment of the Synoptic Gospels. These sermons represent Calvin's last effort to elucidate a New Testament text in the context of regular public worship. Translated into a modern idiom, this book will bring sixteenth-century Geneva to the modern world.

This short series on the Beatitudes, translated for the first time into English, comprise Calvin's exposition of Matthew 5:1-12, Mark 3:13-19 and Luke 6:12-26. Begun in 1559, the series was still not completed by 1564, when ill health forced his retirement from the pulpit. He died three months later making these sermons his very last effort to elucidate a New Testament text in the context of regular public worship. Transport yourself back to sixteenth-century Geneva, and hear the Reformer preach on issues of perennial Christian concern.
