Abstract

In this study Calvin's two sermons on 1 Timothy 2:1-2 are examined and the contents briefly analysed. The conclusion is drawn that Calvin is not giving a treatise on the biblical doctrine on princes and rulers, but is addressing the faithful. In doing so, he explains to the congregation their position vis-a-vis the rulers and what Paul's injunctions mean in their situation. It is true preaching as Calvin only expounds the Biblical message as it is found in this text.
