Published in this English-language edition in 1855, the Commentaries on The Catholic Epistles is French theologian JOHN CALVIN's (1509-1564) interpretation of the letters in the Bible that are addressed to all Christians. The founder of the Christian sect of Calvinism, the author here applies his logical, systematic thinking to Scripture, summarizing the contents of the epistles of Peter, James, Jude, and John before taking them apart line by line for analysis. Christian faithful as well as readers of the history of Christianity will find this a valuable volume of Bible study.
