Challenges From Calvin’s Preaching
July 13, 2009I’ll get back to the pastor’s devotional life tomorrow. Today, given the much mentioned birthday of John Calvin, I thought I should link you to the following:
Calvin & the Preaching of the Word
by Peter Adam
Peter Adam listens carefully to Calvin’s preaching to appreciate the genius and complexity of what he was trying to accomplish in the pulpit. As always, Peter is simultaneously witty, profound, and challenging as he opens up this aspect of the Reformer’s ministry.
This talk was originally given at Trinity Theological College in Perth, Australia in June 2009. Our thanks to Trinity and to Peter for allowing us to publish this excellent talk here.
There are also a host of other talks on Calvin that I haven’t seen much linkage to on the blogosphere, here.
Thanks for the heads-up Colin, I will check the talk out. One thing I decided to do this year was to read and blog my way through the Institutes during 2009. I am trying to do it in a year and so far am keeping up. I am well into Book 3 and really enjoying the challenge. You’d be welcome to stop by.
