Teachings on Humility, from the Writings of John Calvin

By John Calvin and Arthur Wilkinson

Augustine once said, "As the orator, when asked, What is the first precept in eloquence? answered, Delivery: What is the second? Delivery: What the third? Delivery: so, if you ask me in regard to the precepts of the Christian Religion, I will answer, first, second, and third, Humility." John Calvin agreed so much with this statement that he believed that no one could be saved by Christ until they were first humbled.This book is a compilation of John Calvin's teachings on humility for those who want to see an example of Reformation teaching on the subject, for those who wish to study them in a single volume, and for those who want to explore how his teachings differ from what is often taught today.The teachings included in this book are taken from John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion (translated by Henry Beveridge) and from his commentaries on the Bible (translated by Joseph Haroutunian, Rev. James Anderson, Rev. John Owen, Thomas Meyers, M.A., and Rev. William Pringle).
