Sermon prep is not complete until Calvin has been consulted. Some of his exegesis and textual analysis are outdated. But his warm devotional style and stalwart defense of the gospel make being fed by the text your preaching or studying as easy as grabbing the appropriate volume off the shelf. Note:

while it is 22 volumes, Calvin did not complete the whole Bible. So certain biblical books are not commented on (e.g. Revelation, Nehemiah, et al). That said, this is a great set which can usually be found for as little as a hundred dollars!

The depth of his understanding of the Scriptures was phenomenal! I use this set regularly in my sermon preparation.
