Commentary on Romans

A landmark of Reformation exegesis, Calvin's verse-by-verse exposition of Paul's Epistle to the Romans unfolds the doctrines of justification by faith, original sin, divine election, and the relationship between law and gospel. With characteristic clarity and brevity, Calvin draws out the apostle's argument from humanity's universal guilt through God's sovereign grace to the practical duties of Christian life. First published in 1540 and widely influential, this commentary remains an essential guide to one of Scripture's most theologically rich epistles.
