Nothing Like God: A penetrating application of the Second Commandment

by Pierre Viret, Pierre Viret, R A Sheats (Translation)

“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness . . .” What is a graven image, and why did God give such a strong prohibition against it? What’s at the heart of the second commandment? How does it apply in our modern world? What is idolatry and how can it be recognized? Why does God call Himself jealous? And why is this the only commandment with both a curse and a blessing attached to it? Within Nothing Like God Swiss Reformer Pierre Viret and his associate John Calvin examine the meaning and applicability of the second commandment. Their careful exposition and Biblical wisdom shed much light on the issues surrounding this command and offer a clear understanding of God’s Word in this insightful and deeply penetrating analysis of perhaps the most-overlooked commandment of our day.
