{"product_id":"sermons-on-galatians-john-calvin","title":"Sermons on Galatians (John Calvin)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere for the first time since the Elizabethan era – thanks to this new translation by Kathy Childress – readers in the modern English-speaking world are able to join the congregation of St Peter’s, Geneva to ‘hear’ John Calvin’s magisterial expositions of Paul’s letter to the Galatians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the hallmarks of Calvin’s ministry are here: his unparalleled ability to take his hearers to the heart of a passage of Scripture coupled with his concern to marry the riches of biblical theology to the practicalities of Christian living and his deep pastoral insight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese sermons demonstrate why ‘that learned and godly minister of Christ’ has been called ‘the first great modern preacher’. They provide a model of interpreting Scripture in its context and according to its natural meaning. But more than that, they illustrate why it has been said that Calvin became a theologian in order to be a better pastor. His style captures the apostolic vision of ‘setting forth the truth plainly’ – yet he does this, with such a striking choice of vocabulary, word pictures and application, that the truth of Scripture is allowed to stand forth in all of its native power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat evangelical themes meet in concentrated form in Galatians – human depravity and divine mercy; law and gospel; the cross and its significance; union with Christ; justification, adoption, and sanctification. As a result this splendid production of Calvin’s forty-three sermons, preached in 1557-58, brings together the part of Scripture which was the Reformation \u003cem\u003eMagna Charta \u003c\/em\u003ewith its greatest theologian and biblical expositor. Scholars interested in Calvin, theological students seeking a guide to train them in biblical exposition, preachers needing personal encouragement and stimulation, Christians hungry for instruction – all, without exception, will find treasure in these pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Banner of Truth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49286896287918,"sku":"9780851516998","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/6737\/2718\/files\/sermons-on-galatians-01-966x1536.jpg?v=1788361969","url":"https:\/\/shop.mbts.edu\/products\/sermons-on-galatians-john-calvin","provider":"Sword \u0026 Trowel Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
