The Expository Genius of John Calvin
In The Expository Genius of John Calvin, Dr. Steven J. Lawson delves
into the practices, commitments, and techniques that made John Calvin, the great
Reformer of the sixteenth century, such an effective preacher during his long
pastorate at Saint Pierre Cathedral in Geneva, Switzerland. Dr. Lawson
identifies thirty-two distinctives of Calvin's preaching, providing comments
from Calvin's writings, quotations from Reformation scholars, and examples from
Calvin's own sermons to reinforce his points. In the end, Dr. Lawson finds in
Calvin a strong model for expository preaching and calls on modern pastors to
follow the Reformer's example.

Christ is the very essence of all delights and pleasures, the very soul and substance of them. As all the rivers are gathered into the ocean, which is the meeting-place of all the waters in the world, so Christ is that ocean in which all true delights and pleasures meet."
