Dive deep into one of the most influential texts in Christian thought with Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans.

Each episode focuses squarely on Calvin's own method, which was characterized by a striking intellectual honesty. You won't find a thinker who twists scripture to support a predetermined idea.

The discussions naturally unfold from the text itself, exploring themes of grace, faith, law, and righteousness as Calvin understood them within their historical context.
