Book Description
Calvin’s expository sermons to the great congregation of St Peter’s, Geneva, taken down in shorthand and then published across Europe, were among the most sought-after volumes of the sixteenth century. In the late 1570s, translated from the French, these bulky volumes flowed through London’s bookshops and none was more popular than the ‘One hundred Sermons on the Epistles of St Paul to Timothy and Titus’ which appeared for the first time in 1579. The public demand was understandable. First, Calvin ‘opened the Scriptures’, not in these volumes for students only, but for the whole church. Second, the sermons were preaching in the full New Testament sense of the term, that is, proclamation and persuasion, with power and conviction.
These sermons are new translated from the French of 1561 by Robert White.
Robert White formerly taught in the department of French Studies at the University of Sydney, Australia, and has a specialist interest in the Reformation in French-speaking areas of Europe. He is the translator of Calvin’s Sermons on the Beatitudes, Songs of the Nativity, Faith Unfeigned, A Guide to Christian Living, and The Institutes of the Christian Religion (1541 edition), which are also published by the Trust.

Benjamin Hegan –
Fantastic. Warm, rich, and tender expositions of the Word of God. Having read a good amount of the Institutes I expected the sermons to be heavy going too. I was wrong. I read the first one and was struck by how accessible it is – very strong exposition matched with very tender application. Really great. The sermons are so in depth yet concise. They’re so warm. What a rich pastoral heart Calvin had – give by the Lord. Such a God glorifying set of sermons. Wonderful stuff – highly recommended!
Robert Norman –
Absolutely fantastic! Calvin shows himself to be one of the finest expositors through all of history with these fantastic sermons on 1 Timothy. Hardly straying from his text and hardly messing around with irrelevant details, Calvin succeeded in preaching fifty-four messages which were all biblically focused on his passage. This is an amazing book of sermons.
