Note
Calvin delivered these sermons to his congregation in Geneva in the mid-16th century. The sermons provide great theological insight, addressing themes of divine justice, human sinfulness, and God's providence. They also underscore the importance of patience and trust in God amidst life's trials. The work remains a significant work in Reformed theology today.
