Commentary on Colossians

by John Calvin

Modern English translation available Audiobook available in the app
*Commentary on Colossians* by John Calvin offers a clear, methodical exposition of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Colossian church. Written during the Reformation, it emphasizes the supremacy of Christ, the sufficiency of His work for salvation, and the dangers of false teachings that diminish His authority. Calvin combines careful attention to the biblical text with theological insight, pastoral concern, and practical application. The commentary reflects Calvin’s commitment to Scripture as the final authority and remains a valuable resource for readers seeking a historically grounded, theologically rich understanding of Colossians.
