Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major reason for the continuing relevance of Calvin's commentaries is his ability to explain a verse or word in view of its context and the writer's purpose. The 'Spirit's plan' or the 'sum of the whole', as Calvin liked to put, determines the meaning of a phrase or verse. Although modern interpreters may disagree with Calvin's expositions of particular passages, and although their knowledge of this period of biblical history may be more sophisticated, all will recognize Calvin's skill in grasping the writer's purpose and keeping that purpose uppermost in mind as her interprets the text.
