John T. McNeill, Editor. This 2 volume English language work of Latin and Calvin scholars edited by John McNeill results in a translation that achieves a high degree of accuracy and at the same time is eminently readable.
The translator and his associates have taken great care to preserve the rugged strength and vividness of Calvin's writing. They have not, however, hesitated to break up overly long sentences to conform to modern English usage or, wherever possible, to render heavy Latinate theological terms in simple language. The result is a translation that achieves a high degree of accuracy and at the same time is eminently easy to read.
