That son-of-a-gun John Calvin\'s Bible commentaries!!
I have a love-hate relationship with Calvin's commentaries. The commentary is full of insightful exegetical readings in many areas. The keen intellect of the jurist turned theologian really shines in his commentaries just as his Institutes.
It's over 22 volumes, but I have a bone to pick with old John Calvin. Foremost, everytime I have a particular Sunday school lesson or something to research, I might say to myself, "I wonder what Calvin would have to say on the subject?" As if, everytime I go looking for something-- it's not there! Whether First and Second Samuel or Revelation! Why would you save the books of Samuel for last in your commentary? What was he thinking?
Calvin should have lived longer and finished his commentary for crying out loud!
