Overview

The Reformation Commentary on Scripture provides centralized access to treasures that very few can gather for themselves, introducing believers to the great diversity that constituted the Reformation. It offers a crucial link between the contemporary church and the great cloud of witnesses that is the historical church.

In each volume of the Reformation Commentary on Scripture the biblical text from the English Standard Version is placed alongside the insights of Reformation leaders, with commentary from Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican, Anabaptist, and even reform-minded Catholic thinkers, who all shared a commitment to the faithful exposition of Scripture.

Each volume contains a unique introduction written by the volume editor, providing a reliable guide to the history of the period, the unique reception of the canon of Scripture, and an orientation to the thinkers featured in the volume. Volumes also contain biographies of figures from the Reformation era, adding an essential reference for students of church history. Here is a unique tool for the spiritual and theological reading of Scripture, designed to facilitate a rich research experience for preachers and teachers.
