A proposito di questo titolo
 In the realm of biblical commentary, few have displayed such unwavering honesty as John Calvin. He was neither a manipulator of texts nor a shaper of meanings to fit preconceived doctrines. His dedication lay in translating the original Hebrew and Greek with the utmost accuracy, striving to convey the true intent of the Scriptures. As noted by Dr. King, Calvins integrity shines through in his approach—he allows the Word of God to resonate on its own merits, resisting the urge to impose his interpretations or theories. Regardless of whether we agree with his conclusions, Calvins commitment to faithfully representing divine intent marks him as a remarkably honest commentator, never stretching or diminishing Scriptures message. This perspective is beautifully captured in Charles Spurgeons insights from Commenting and Commentaries, published in 1876.

    Ten Homilies on the First Epistle of John by Saint Augustine of Hippo.

    As regards the plan of the Epistle, it has been often asserted till lately that it was supposed to be but fragmentary, a series of aphorisms. Augustine, however, without formally announcing a plan as discovered by him in the Epistle, not only frequently affirms in his exposition that charity or love is the Apostle’s main theme, but so conducts the discussion, gathering his arguments and illustrations around this central thought, as to render it evident that in his view the purpose and plan of the Apostle is to set forth love in its essence and its scope, and that he intends to make this thought dominant in every part.

    Commentary on the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Galatians-John Calvin

    Commentary on the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Galatians by John Calvin.

    If ever there was a time when the consolations derived from religious instruction were necessary, what other resource is left to the most heroic minds by the present distress of the Church, and by greater and heavier distresses which appear to be approaching? Whoever, therefore, wishes to remain unmoved to the last, let him rely entirely on this support; whoever desires to have a sure protection, let him learn to betake himself to this refuge. Besides, in these four Epistles, of which I now present to you my Expositions, you will find, noble Prince, many subjects of consolation exceedingly adapted to the present times ; but to which I do not now more particularly refer, because they will occur to yourself with much better effect in their own places. I come now to my second reason for dedicating to you this work.

  • Commentary on the Epistle to the Colossians-John Calvin

    Commentary on the Epistle to the Colossians-John Calvin
    Nov 6 2026
    Commentary on the Epistle to the Colossians by John Calvin.

    Accordingly, not long after this Epistle was written, three Churches of great renown perished by a mournful as well as horrible occurrence—a bright mirror truly of divine judgment, if we had but eyes to see it. The Colossians had been, not indeed by Paul, but with fidelity and purity by Epaphras and other ministers, instructed in the gospel; but immediately afterwards, Satan had, with his tares, crept in, (Matt. xiii. 25,) according to his usual and invariable manner, that he might there pervert the right faith.
