Daniel I (Chapters 1-6)

Description of T.h.l. Parker, author of Daniel I:

This COTC volume strives to let Calvin speak in his own words by keeping annotations to a minimum. While reflecting Calvin's sixteenth century context in terms of style and historical references, these expositions still offer a coherent, classic, Christ-centered interpretation of the prophet Daniel. Calvin's prayers at the end of each chapter are also noteworthy. Through this new translation of all John Calvin's commentaries on the OT, modern readers can for the firsttime hear the theologian par excellence of the Reformatioexpounding the Hebrew Bible in clearn contemporary English. Based, significantly, on the last editionsfor which Calvin himself was responsible, this translation effectively supersedes the 19th Century Calvin Translation Society version. More accessible and instructive to today's student than any other body of biblical exposition from the Reformation era, these commenaries enlarge the conventional view of Calvin the theologian by offering a revealinpicutre of Calvin the teacher, exegete, pastor and person.
