Leroy Nixon, the translator of these sermons wrote, Of all the sermons by Calvin, the 159 on the book of Job have probably been the most famous.
They express clearly his sense of the majesty of God.
To work with them over the past three years has been a rich and exciting spiritual experience.
If the reader gets only a fraction of the benefit which came to the translator, the reader will be amply rewarded.
Calvin's piety is well expressed in the sermons titled, 'The Lord Gave; the Lord has taken Away'; 'Blessed is the Man whom God Corrects'; 'Though He Slay Me, Yet Will I Trust in Him;' 'Does Not God Count My Steps'; ' and 'The Right Use of Affliction.
' Pervading these sermons is the prayer and conviction that whatever comes to pass may all be for the glory of God.
