Commentary on Zechariah, Malachi Author(s): Calvin, John (1509-1564) (Alternative) (Translator) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: In this small volume, John Calvin provides an interesting commentary on the books of Zechariah and Malachi. Re- garded as one of the Reformation's best interpreters of scripture, Calvin is an apt commentator. In particular, he frequently offers his own translations of a passage, explaining the subtleties and nuances of his translation. He has a pen- chant for incorporating keen pastoral insight into the text as well. He always interacts with other theologians, commentat- ors, and portions of the Bible when interpreting a particular passage. Calvin's Commentary on Zechariah and Malachi is instructive and practical. It will prove useful to theologians and laypeople alike.
