Calvin's Harmony of the Law is his
commentary on the books Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and
Deuteronomy. Whereas the majority of Calvin's commentaries are
chronologically arranged--beginning with the first verse in a book, and
ending with the last--Harmony of the Law is arranged topically,
for
Calvin believed that his topical arrangement would better present the
various doctrines of "true piety." A remarkable commentary, Harmony
of
the Law contains Calvin's discussion of the Ten Commandments, the
usefulness of the law, and the harmony of the law. Harmony of the
Law
instructs readers in both the narrative history of the Old Testament and
the practical importance and use of the Old Testament teachings.
Harmony
of the Law is highly recommended, and will demonstrate to a reader
why
Calvin is regarded as one of the best commentators of the
Reformation.
