Reformed bible commentaries

Reformed theology emerged out of the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. Many reformed doctrines took form in the teaching and preaching ministries of men like Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, and John Calvin. [1]

The terms “Reformed” and “Calvinism” are sometimes used interchangeably; however, others distinguish between the two.

Please note: one-volume, whole-bible commentaries that reflect Reformed theology can be found at the bottom of the page.
