<br> It does not make light reading, for its scholarship is wide-ranging, painstaking and detailed, but the journey is rewarding. It shows us things from the whole of the Calvin corpus which most of us are likely never to have the opportunity to explore in such detail for ourselves. --Bulletin of theInstitute for Reformed Theology<p><br> [Pitkin's] study is not only a study of historical theology but also contributes to the history of biblical exegesis. --Theology Digest<p><br> Barbara Pitkin has written a very important work, in which there are numerous insights founded upon consideration of primary sources, analysed within the developing structure of Calvin's Institutes over subsequent editions, and within his continuous output of biblical commentaries. --Theology<p><br>

Barbara Pitkin has written a very important work. * Henry Jansma, Theology, Sept/Oct. 2000. * There is much here to ponder, especially since Pitkin is careful to present within the text and endnotes the primary sources for consideration. * Henry Jansma, Theology, Sept/Oct. 2000. * Pitkin's volume represents a welcome new trend in Calvin research - the contextualization of Calvin as a theologian, preacher and exegete. * David Whitford, Reviews in Religion and Theology * Pitkin's exegesis of Calvin is careful and technical. It will be a welcome addition to the library of Calvin and Reformation scholars specifically, and to all theologians more generally. * David Whitford, Reviews in Religion and Theology *
