About the RCS
The Reformation Commentary on Scripture is a series published by IVP Academic intended to recover the wealth of biblical commentary during the time of the Reformation. The series is edited by Timothy George and Scott Manetsch, and it will eventually cover all the books of the bible.
Sapientia has partnered with IVP Academic to bring some of this wealth to you on a weekly basis. Read these snippets and learn more not only about the Reformation and its reformers, but also Holy Scripture.
