Introducing the

Reformation Commentary
on Scripture

Scholarly Research, Attractive Format

With the Reformation Commentary on Scripture you have centralized access to treasure that very few can gather for themselves. The series introduces you to the great diversity that constituted the Reformation, with comments on scripture by representatives of the multitudinous traditions that originated in the era, from Lutherans, Reformed, Anglican and Anabaptists to radical reformers and even reform-minded Catholics, who all shared a commitment to the faithful exposition of Scripture.

The Reformation Commentary on Scripture provides a crucial link between the contemporary church and the great cloud of exegetes that is the historical church. The salient insight, rhetorical power and consensual exegesis of the tradition of the Reformation are here made available as a powerful tool for the church of the twenty-first century. Like never before, believers can feel they are a part of a genuine tradition of renewal as they faithfully approach the text of Scripture.

The RCS is printed in a large, attractive, hardback, double-columned format. The first of 28 volumes was released October, 2011. Two to three volumes will be produced each year until the series is complete.
