| Sumario: | Calvin's final commentary, an explosion of the book of Joshua, reflects both Calvin's immersion in and dialogue with the exegetical and theological tradition, as well as his concern with the image and identity of Reformed believers, and especially the Huguenots of France.

It also reflects his concern that his coreligionists moral issues ends in unresolved tension -- a tension that reflects the moral and political ambiguities that French Reformed believers faced at the beginning of the Wars of Religion in France. |
