How many of you read from Calvin's Commentaries? When I was still a United Methodist Minster, and before I was a Calvinist, my oppinion was that Calvin's commentaries were the best that I have ever read. Surprisingly, when I was invited to the home of a reformed minister in my area, after leaving the UMC, he didn't even have a copy!
I have them in a variety of electronic formats (am hoping to get a set of the Calvin 500 edition when it comes out in a few weeks) but strongly disagree with his handling of 2 & 3 John and Revelation!!!
I can think of no other commentaries that have proven so durable and transgenerational in outliving their own day as Calvin. There are a few classics (Owen on Hebrews and Spurgeon on Psalms) that have endured, but none have worn so well for so long on so many books of the Bible.
I just preordered a 500th Anniversary set of the commentaries (due out now in June) for $120 (including a matching 500th Anniversary edition of the Institutes).
Thanks, Dennis! I'll watch for those in the mail.

I don't believe that a omnivorous reader like you is lacking in a copy of Calvin's Commentaries.
You must get them as real books, there is an unresistable charm to real books, booooks
