Excerpt from Commentaries on the First Book of Moses Called Genesis, Vol. 2
No book of the Bible is more important to the Reformed faith as the basis of its formulation than the Book of Genesis. No writer in the whole field of theological literature is more basic in his perception of the Reformed faith as the teaching of the Holy Word revealed by God's Spirit through Prophets and Apostles, than John Calvin.
Perhaps the most striking feature of Calvin as thinker and commentator is the way in which he allows his mind to be controlled by the specific meaning of the God-revealed truth, rather than foisting upon that truth some concepts of his own. While one can never escape this sense of the complete enthrallment of his mind by the Bible, even in the Institutes, it is nowhere more apparent than in his commenting upon this book of origins.
Since it is in the very creation of the world that the relation between God and the creation was forever established and since it is that very relationship the expression of which constitutes the Reformed faith, it is natural that what John Calvin has to say about God's sustaining and controlling power over His creation, is basic to an understanding of God's Word and of the Reformed faith.
It is all too often remarked in these days that we are not interested in theological niceties; that what is needed is more of Christian life and less of Christian doctrine. It is even observed that the ancient battle between Arminian and Calvinistic points of view must not be taken too seriously and that in a dynamic age we must meet its challenge with less doctrine and more action.
Such careless observations, however, fail to analyze the problems. They do not truly reflect an understanding of the meaning of theology or properly evaluate the relation between thought and action.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a masterful exploration of one of the most famous and influential texts in the Western tradition: the Book of Genesis. The author, John Calvin, was a leading figure in the Protestant Reformation, and his commentary on Genesis is considered a classic of biblical scholarship. Calvin's commentary is not merely a dry academic exercise; it is a deeply personal and devotional work, filled with insights into the human condition and the nature of God. Calvin believed that the Bible was the inspired word of God, and he sought to unlock its meaning for his readers. He did this by carefully examining the text, paying attention to its historical and literary context, and drawing out its theological implications. Calvin's commentary is a rich source of wisdom and insight for anyone who is interested in the Bible, and it remains a valuable resource for scholars and laypeople alike. It is a work that has profoundly shaped the understanding of Genesis for centuries, and it continues to be a source of inspiration and guidance for readers today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331852407_0
