That is where the church found itself just before the Reformation. No man did more to point the church back to God&#8217;s inerrant Word than John Calvin. Having accepted Scripture&#8217;s claims concerning itself, Calvin laboured, as few others have, to make this revelation known to his own hearers and, through his published writings, to generations that succeeded him. The church owes a great debt to Calvin the theologian, commentator, and preacher. This brief study is an indication of that debt to this &#8216;man of God&#8217;s Word&#8217;. Its aim is to encourage Christians to read and to hear Scripture as God&#8217;s true Word to helpless sinners.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"toctoggle\">Table of Contents <a class=\"button\" href=\"#toc\">Expand \u2193<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"toc\" class=\"table-of-contents\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Preface<\/td>\n<td>vii<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>John Calvin and God\u2019s Word, Written<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>John Calvin and God\u2019s Word, Preached<\/td>\n<td>37<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Appendix 1<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Calvin\u2019s Love for the Word of God<\/td>\n<td>113<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Appendix 2<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Calvin\u2019s Preface to the Geneva Bible of 1546<\/td>\n<td>125<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This brief study is an indication of the debt the church owes to Calvin the theologian, commentator and preacher. 144pp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":128260,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1261,1270],"product_tag":[5595,20311,20502],"class_list":{"0":"post-500","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-history-biography","7":"product_cat-theology","8":"product_tag-ebooks","9":"product_tag-new-ebook-titles","10":"product_tag-ebook-released-202501","11":"pa_binding-ebook","12":"pa_binding-paperback","13":"pa_binding-paperback-ebook","14":"pa_class-bp","15":"pa_era-today","16":"pa_format-book","17":"pa_isbn-3312","18":"pa_original-pub-date-1421","19":"pa_page-count-2134","20":"pa_recent-pub-date-apr-1-2011","21":"pa_recent-pub-date-year-6072","22":"pa_subtitle-written-and-preached","23":"pa_theauthor-barnes-peter","24":"pa_topic-16th-century","25":"pa_topic-scripture","27":"first","28":"instock","29":"purchasable","30":"product-type-variable","31":"has-default-attributes"},"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
