This review is from: Sermons on Job - Facsimile: (Library Binding)

Calvin's sermons on Job are a marvelous way into the Reformer's exegetical technique, his homiletic skills, and his theology. Clearly enunciating the Reformed perspective on God's sovereignty, and both the human necessity and need for humility in the face of unexplained suffering, Calvin cannot be beaten. Time and again he argues that we are to rely both on Scripture and even more so-- on the Triune God of Scripture when we are struggling with our faith and Christianity in the face of seemingly senseless suffering. Though not everyone will agree with Calvin's theology, here his theology meets the road and offers traveling "mercies" to those who believe, yet want and need help with their unbelief. In addition, the reproduced facsimile of the early English text is interesting to read and helps one to imagine reading it, and reflecting upon it, during the time period in which Calvin lived. Worth the effort if one wants to know Calvin and his theology.
