Description

Though many of Calvins sermons have sadly been lost to history, with the library of Geneva selling them by weight, his powerful sermons on Ephesians have endured. Translated into Early Modern English by Arthur Golding—who also brought Calvins works on Galatians, Job, and Deuteronomy to life—these sermons reveal Calvins unique approach to preaching. Unlike mere textual explanations, his sermons weave through the scripture, revisiting key points with vivid illustrations and continuous applications for the audience. Delivered in French during Sunday services in Geneva in 1558, these sermons were meticulously captured in shorthand by Denis Raguenier, who began as a note-taker and continued this vital work until his passing. Calvin, who preached without notes, aimed to instill a deep faith in his listeners, guiding them to recognize their own helplessness and the boundless kindness of God through Jesus Christ. An example from sermon 14 encapsulates his style and objective it speaks of Gods incredible kindness in reconciling with us through His Son, illustrating the liberation of wretched souls, the release of captives, and the awakening of those once lost in darkness to the light of life.
