This volume is number 7 in a completely new translation into modern English of Calvin's commentaries on the New Testament. Those familiar with previous translations have frequently discovered that these sometimes fail to reveal the close coherence of Calvin's ideas, miss many of his characteristic images, and often translate whole passages poorly or omit them altogether. Under the editorial direction of David W. Torrance and Thomas F. Torrance, this new series provides the reader with translation that do full justice to the Reformer's qualities as an expositor of the Word of God.
