Summary "This study examines Jean Calvin's attempt to nurture a godly society and further his vision of ecclesiastical and societal reform by means of sound pedagogy and persuasive rhetoric. The focus of this work is Calvin's interpretation of the latter Pentateuch, and particularly the book of Deuteronomy. The author examines Calvin's exegesis and rhetoric in his commentary on the latter Pentateuch, as well as the sermons that Calvin preached on Deuteronomy - material that has received little scholarly attention."--Jacket
