Drawing from the profound sermons of John Calvin on Deuteronomy 27-28, "The Covenant Unveiled" presents a compelling exposition on the dynamics of God's covenant with His people, emphasizing the blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. Calvin's insights, preached in Geneva during the heart of the Reformation, highlight the social, political, and spiritual consequences of our fidelity to God's law. This collection of sermons, translated into contemporary English, bridges historical theology with modern application, making Calvin's timeless message accessible and relevant. It's an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand the covenantal framework of the Bible and its implications for personal and communal faithfulness.
Through his detailed exposition of Deuteronomy of 200 sermons, Calvin highlighted the timeless relevance of God's covenant, urging a return to Biblical principles for societal restoration. These sermons, impactful then and now, underscore the importance of adhering to God's commands for individual and communal well-being. This volume presents fifteen sermons by John Calvin on Deuteronomy 27 and 28, exploring the covenant's blessings and curses. These sermons reveal the thoughts of a key figure in shaping modern thought, providing profound insights for pastors, seminarians, and educators. Their timeless nature makes them a significant resource for understanding and teaching Biblical principles.
We have attempted to be as faithful as possible to the original translation by Golding while updating some archiac words. For example:
IN yesterdayes Le∣cture Mo∣ses hauing exhorted y people to serue God, declared y the coue∣nant which hee hadde made with them was to their great profite. For the more that God bestoweth on vs, the more particularly are we, (if wee bee not voyde of all sense and reason) bound to giue our selues ouer wholly vnto him. But yet for all that, though wee see that God is so liberall towardes vs, are wee mooued to offer our selues in obedience vnto him? [Noe verily]. For this cause Moses sayde vnto the Iewes: that they were chosen to bee in praise, in name, and in glorie, as people shouled out from the rest of the world vnto God.

In yesterday's Lecture, Moses, having exhorted the people to serve God, declared that the covenant he had made with them was to their great profit. For the more that God bestows on us, the more particularly are we, (if we are not devoid of all sense and reason), bound to give ourselves over wholly unto him. But yet for all that, though we see that God is so liberal towards us, are we moved to offer ourselves in obedience unto him? [No, verily]. For this cause Moses said unto the Jews: that they were chosen to be in praise, in name, and in glory, as people singled out from the rest of the world unto God.
