Calvin's first commentary, Commentary on Romans is an impressive commentary, containing some of Calvin's most important views. Calvin is regarded as one of the Reformation's best interpreters of scripture. He frequently offers his own translations of a passage, explaining the subtleties and nuances of his translation. He has a penchant for incorporating keen pastoral insight into the text as well. He always interacts with other theologians, commentators, and portions of the Bible when interpreting a particular passage. Further, this volume also contains informative notes from the editor. Commentary on Romans should not be ignored by anyone interested in the book of Romans or John Calvin himself.
