Newly translated from its original 16th Century French, A Light to My Path: An Exposition of the Ten Commandments is a collection of twelve sermons that Reformer John Calvin preached on the Ten Commandments. Warm and earnest in tone, showing profound scholarship yet with an emphasis on practical application, Calvin’s sermons carry believers to the heart of the commands of God. His sermons unite a theological depth with a down-to-earth, easily-understandable style, offering the modern reader an easy and enjoyable access to the riches of Calvin’s theology and understanding of the Scriptures.

The reader may notice striking similarities between Calvin’s sermons and the text of his fellow-Reformer Pierre Viret’s Exposition of the Ten Commandments. Viret’s Exposition was published in Geneva in 1554, the year before Calvin began preaching through Deuteronomy. When Calvin in his sermons reached the portion of Deuteronomy dealing with the Decalogue, he apparently employed Viret’s writings in his own exposition of the Ten Commandments.

Preached in Geneva during the months of June and July of the year 1555, Calvin's sermons on the Decalogue form part of a larger expositional series that he undertook through the book of Deuteronomy. The sermons as a whole were afterward published in book form by Thomas Courteau under the title Sermons de M. Jean Calvin sur le v. livre de Moyse nommé Deuteronome (Geneva, 1567). A Light to My Path is sure to be an edifying, enlightening, and convicting read for both new believers and theologians alike.
