The Expository Genius of John Calvin

by Steven Lawson

Summary

This is an ePub eBook. Please read our FAQs about eBooks.

Looking to the past for outstanding Bible-based, Christ-centered, and life-changing preaching, Dr. Steven J. Lawson focuses on sixteenth-century Geneva, Switzerland. It was there that John Calvin ministered for decades as a faithful shepherd to a flock of believers.

Here is an intimate portrait of Calvin the preacher-the core beliefs that determined his preaching style, the steps he took to prepare to preach, and the techniques he used in handling the Word of God, interpreting it, and applying it to his congregation. In the pulpit ministry of the great Reformer, Dr. Lawson finds inspiration and guidance for today’s church and calls on modern pastors to follow the Reformer’s example of strong expository preaching.

“I heartily recommend this book by Steven Lawson as an impetus to the recovery of expository preaching. It is an especially good gift for pastors and seminary students.”
—R.C. Sproul

William Tyndale, George Whitefield, Charles Spurgeon, Martin Luther, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Isaac Watts, John Owen, and Jonathan Edwards or the complete set are also available.

Testimonials

He has enlightened these truths for the church now

Ellen Barr

This is so vital to todays churches who will not hear the pure exposed Word of God. It is sad to have pastors in the pulpit who are ashamed to proclaim the innerancy of Scripture to the sheep who need it. We thank Sovereign God for a man such as this to be bold enough to expose such truth. Amen, and amen. Mobile, Alabama

Refocuses your Preaching

Peter Brock

As I read the book I found that it caused me to take a hard look at my own preaching. I was reminded that God's Word is the focus rather than some skillfully crafted sermon that is pleasing to the ears yet lacks true Biblical meat. May God's Word be THE central focus of our ministry.

A call to true ministry.

Forrest Cole

What a great book. In this time of "seeker friendly and name it and claim it", this is a fresh call to Biblical authority and ministry as well. A must for the serious student of the Word as well as anyone who desires to share God's word in a pure and undefiled manner...as well to God's glory alone. Thank you for this extremely important work.

Love This Book!

Justin Childers

Fantastic meditation on Calvin's preaching. A must read for this generation of preachers. Get a copy for your pastor. If he reads it, you will get the benefit!
