Description
Summary:Reflecting the recent increasing interest in the sermons of John Calvin, this article offers a brief survey of how the sermons came to be preserved and their fate through the intervening centuries. It examines ways in which the sermons were viewed and valued in the reformer's own day and offers some insights into his own perspective on the texts of his daily exposition of the Word to the people of Geneva, while also drawing attention to some surprising omissions in the subject matter of his preaching.
