Summary: When John Calvin preached through the book of Micah in 1550-51, he addressed a social situation not unlike Micah’s, or ours today. The prophet Micah confronted idolatry, superstition, confusion, alienation, inhumane acts, and personal and social desolation in his own day. And he continues to speak to us, through the Genevan Reformer, in these twenty-eight sermons.

Calvin’s commitment to the sovereignty of divine grace “underlies almost every sentence he preaches in the series,” writes Benjamin Farley in his introduction to this volume. Other themes receiving special attention are God’s Word, his providence and human suffering, and man’s role in sanctification.

What Other Say About this Book:

“Calvin’s vibrant and vital preaching is heard in these sermons on Micah translated by veteran Calvin scholar Benjamin Farley. Though preached centuries ago to Calvin’s Geneva congregation, the sermons come alive for our time through this superb translation.” – Donald K. McKim

“Farley is a seasoned interpreter of Calvin’s legacy, and I welcome his fresh translation of Calvin’s Sermons on the Book of Micah. Calvin’s vocation as a minister of the divine Word is nowhere better seen than in his pulpit work, and these sermons give us new insight into Calvin the preacher.” – Timothy George
