!!!!!!!!NOTHING BETTER!!!!!!!!!

Calvin is very clear in his commentaries plus the depth he provides makes this set of 22 books the best a student or pastor can buy.Not only is the price reasonable but the size of each book in this set is a handy size so to use it next to your bible without taking up to much desk space. Calvin will take you thru the bible verse by verse even put the bible passage in bold print above the commentary note this is what I like most about this particular set of commentaries.I assure you if you like Calvin and the Reformed tradition this item is for you

Know what you're getting...

A great commentary. Calvin does his own exegesis of the original text; allowing him to bring out a unique and delightful interpretation of the scriptures. Each section of scripture begins with his translation of the text, and then is expounded upon, point-by-point. This is a great and enlightening (and cheap may I add) addition to any Christians library. Calvin's efforts to finish a complete commentary of the bible were never achieved (due to his death I believe). So, the following books have no commentaries to them:Judges, Ruth, 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings, 1 & 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, 2 & 3 John, and Revelation.Also, in regards to this commentary, Calvin does a two volume Harmony of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke), and has a separate commentary for the gospel of John. He also does a two volume Harmony of the Law (Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy). The entire set contains a total of 22 volumes, and the binding and pages of each volume are of good quality. All in all, this is a great commentary, something you can pass down to generations to come. IF... you're looking to get the theology of Calvin, then my friend, you're barking up the wrong tree, get Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion (BKA Calvin's Institutes).

Exellent, what a scholar!

What a brilliant mind! I have been greatly edified by this godly man and his devotion to the exposition of the scriptures. Oh that we had more scholars of his calibur today.Oh! And I use these commentaries daily in my bible study.

Clarity of Thought!

Since purchasing this set, I find myself going to Calvin most often for understanding of difficult passages. I have Henry, Poole, and Gill on the whole Bible, and many individual volumes, but now go to Calvin first.The reformers such as Luther and Calvin believed that the scriptures were perspicuous - not obscure; this comes through in these commentaries.This set may be found for much less than is listed above.
