067 - Corinthians 151-10

John Calvin, a pivotal figure in the Protestant Reformation, was a French theologian and pastor whose insights continue to shape Christian thought today. Originally trained as a lawyer, Calvin left the Roman Catholic Church around 1530 and sought refuge in Switzerland amidst rising tensions against Protestants in France. His theological contributions are most vividly expressed in his biblical commentaries, sermons, and treatises. After publishing his first commentary on Romans in 1540, Calvin set his sights on the entire New Testament, and by 1555, he had completed his monumental commentary series, including the first volume on I Corinthians. His work remains influential and relevant, standing the test of time for over 400 years. (Summary by Wikipedia)
