John Calvin Commentary Offline for Android

I enjoy reading the commentary provided and find it very encouraging, but I find navigating the app a bit frustrating. When reading the commentary you’ll see a reference. If you click on said reference it will take you to the Bible portion of the app, but you will not be able to go back to where you left off in the commentary portion; you’ll have to start all over. Also, when wanting to go to the next verse that has commentary (say I’m reading Luke 17:7 and want to go to vs. 10 which is what’s included) I have to start over (choose book, chapter, verse). This all takes time and interrupts flow of thought.

Love this app, all I can say is that try it and you’ll love it too, it’s free an full of great doctrinal truths, what have you got to lose. I have many commentaries by some of the early church fathers and contemporary writers this one brings balanced theological insight to them all. With this and other foundation commentaries you can compare the premier doctrines of scriptures, it’s almost like having a front seat in the middle of the great debates of history concerning the affects, faith, doctrines and purpose of the Atonement and saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Content is excellent and precisely follows Calvin’s written commentary. App falls short in ease of use. If you want to study a passage, you can only do so one verse at a time. At the completion of each verse, you are required to select your book, chapter, and subsequent verse all over again. Would be a 5 out of 5 if not for this user-unfriendly issue.

The clarity mr Calvin gives to the scripture is extremely revealing and helpful.
