## What is John Calvin Commentary?

Overview Calvin Bible Commentaries application
John Calvin (French: Jean Calvin ; born Jehan Cauvin; 10 July 1509 – 27 May 1564) was a French theologian, pastor and reformer in Geneva during the Protestant Reformation. He was a principal figure in the development of the system of Christian theology later called Calvinism, aspects of which include the doctrines of predestination and of the absolute sovereignty of God in salvation of the human soul from death and eternal damnation, in which doctrines Calvin was influenced by and elaborated upon the Augustinian and other Christian traditions. Various Congregational, Reformed and Presbyterian churches, which look to Calvin as the chief expositor of their beliefs, have spread throughout the world.

Calvin was a tireless polemic and apologetic writer who generated much controversy. He also exchanged cordial and supportive letters with many reformers, including Philipp Melanchthon and Heinrich Bullinger. In addition to his seminal Institutes of the Christian Religion, Calvin wrote commentaries on most books of the Bible, confessional documents, and various other theological treatises.

Originally trained as a humanist lawyer, he broke from the Roman Catholic Church around 1530. After religious tensions erupted in widespread deadly violence against Protestant Christians in France, Calvin fled to Basel, Switzerland, where in 1536 he published the first edition of the Institutes. In that same year, Calvin was recruited by Frenchman William Farel to join the Reformation in Geneva, where he regularly preached sermons throughout the week; but the governing council of the city resisted the implementation of their ideas, and both men were expelled. At the invitation of Martin Bucer, Calvin proceeded to Strasbourg, where he became the minister of a church of French refugees. He continued to support the reform movement in Geneva, and in 1541 he was invited back to lead the church of the city.

Following his return, Calvin introduced new forms of church government and liturgy, despite opposition from several powerful families in the city who tried to curb his authority. During this period, Michael Servetus, a Spaniard regarded by both Roman Catholics and Protestants as having a heretical view of the Trinity, arrived in Geneva. He was denounced by Calvin and burned at the stake for heresy by the city council. Following an influx of supportive refugees and new elections to the city council, Calvin's opponents were forced out. Calvin spent his final years promoting the Reformation both in Geneva and throughout Europe.

### 5/5 — Calvin App

*2022-03-12*

This app is wonderfull and full of the HOLY Spirit. It is easy to read @ explains the BIBLE very well.  Keep up the good work in spreading the word of God. In this sin sick world. Pray for UKRAINE at this time for many know not CHRIST @we want then to find CHRIST before it is to late. For we want  as many to enter HEAVEN  as possible on that great day when CHRIST returns to receive his own. What a wonderful day that will be. We will have won the battle @ the devil will be given that which he deserves. I only use the king JAMES Bible as it has been preserved over 400years @modern versions have verses missing. Which is wrong. As it tells you in the Book of Revelation not to add or take away from the word of GOD. CHRIST Is our mediator @ the only way to HEAVEN on the last Day.  (ACTS 4 v 12.) may CHRIST bless you all. We need GODS word as never before. EAD your King JAMES Bible everyday.

### 5/5 — 10/10

An incredible resource to those who hunger and thirst for the knowledge for God
