Yet, instead of abstracting the theory or method for interpreting Scripture, it is prudent to investigate the actual practice of his sermons and commentary writing to understand how Calvin functions as a biblical interpreter. If John Thompson 's thought holds weight, then it will come to see that Calvin interprets the…

Sermons Every sermon was meant to focus on ethical behavior and how to have a christian life (“Journal of Church and State”, 2014).

It turns out that the more Dimmesdale suffers with his guilt, the better his sermons become. The more he whips himself, the more expressive he is on Sunday and the more his followers worships his words.
