Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Commentary on a Harmony of the Evangelists, Vol. 1: Matthew, Mark, and Luke All the writings of John Calvin are marked by extraordinary vigour, learning, and judgement. Few of them are so well known as The Institutes Of The Christian Religion - a systematic treatise, which, though written at the early age of twenty-four, was universally acknowledged to be a production of the highest ability. Concise and luminous, powerful in argument, scriptural, devout and practical, it has not been superseded by any later work. But the fame which he acquired by The Institutes was fully sustained by his expository writings, which possess at least equal claims on the attention of divines. They contributed powerfully to diffuse the pure Gospel of Christ, commanded the applause of all the Reformed Churches, and received even from enemies no mean commendation. More than a century after his valuable life had closed, they occupied a place in every theological library. The learned Matthew Poole, in the preface to his Synopsis, apologizes for the small number of his quotations from them, on the express ground that the Commentaries themselves, he had every reason to believe, were in the hands of all his readers. This reputation, after having suffered a partial eclipse, will soon, in all probability, regain its former brightness.
