DESCRIPTION

This work is a newly typeset edition from the 1574 printing of the English translation by Arthur Golding in its entirety and consists of two parts: the text of the whole of Saint Paul's Epistle to the Galatians as translated by Calvin himself, and the exposition of the text. Dr. J. R. Beeke says in his review of the book, "This is a landmark reprint...If a copy could be located on the used book market, it would sell for over a thousand dollars." The substance of the Epistle to the Galatians is this: because God had once condescended to enlighten men with the true knowledge of His Gospel, they are required to stand steadfast in the truth which they have embraced, and to show by their godly behaviour that they be the children of light, so as they neither turn back again as renegades or as swine to the mire, nor be carried to and fro with every blast of doctrine like wavering reeds, or like little children that are soon weary of the things that they have, and fond of every new thing that they see. Calvin particularly addresses: free justification by faith, Christian liberty, the abolishing of Ceremonies, the force and effect of the law, and the pure walk of the Christian life. Emphasized throughout these Sermons is the historic and continuing reality of the troubling of the Church by the great deceiver Satan, who uses God's name against God, Christ's name against Christ, the show of the Gospel against the Gospel, and the countenance of Apostles and godly Ministers to overthrow the truth. This exposition is given that the wavering sort may in all goodness be confirmed, the weaklings strengthened, the ignorant instructed, the negligent warned, the forward encouraged, the slothful pricked forth, the corrigible amended, and the wilful and stubborn sort left utterly without excuse. This book contains a Foreword by Dr. W. Robert Godfrey, President and Professor of Church History at Westminster Theological Seminary in California. There is also an Index of Scriptures referred to by Calvin, and a Subject Index. This classic work presents Calvin not simply as a theologian but as a pastor as well.
