A n Exposition of the Scriptures
COVERING TH E ENTIRE BIBLE By Alexander M aclaren, D. D.
Dr. Alexander M aclaren occupies a place ap a rt a s the prince of expositors. He stan ds out suprem e a s a man who not only studied the Bible from a theological and literary point of view, but who preached it for over half a century with a view to providing for human necessities. His fam ous E xpositions were commenced a t the suggestion of Sir W illiam R obertson Nicoll. It is difficult to im agine any set of circum stances which will again produce a man with talents and life-knowledge so pe culiarly fitted for the accom plishing of such a monumental task — the detailed exposition of the entire Bible in the light of a single m agnanim ous personality. Thirty-four volum es now in seventeen, including index. Green buckram , boxed— $35.00. Jamieson, Fausset and Brown’s Critical and Explanatory Commentary on the Whole Bible “ J . F. & B .’s Comm entary” h as long been recognized a s a stan dard evangelical work on the entire Bible. Form erly issued in two volum es, but now combined into one by the employ ment of very thin but good quality of paper, so th at all the wealth of comment and research of these three great Bible scholars is to be had in handy desk form for quick and ready reference. Cloth $7.50 Christian W orker’s Commentary on the O ld Testam ent and the New By Jam es M. Gray “ A truly com petent comm entary on the Whole Bible in one volume, and for a price within the reach o f all. This is emi nently the comm entary of the people. No Sunday School teacher can afford to be without it, and in any Christian home it will enrich the fam ily devotions, answ er the children’s questions, and stim ulate the study of the sacred O racles.” Cloth $3.00
MATTHEW H ENRY 'S COMMENTARY
T h i s w e l l - known commen tary, written by Matthew Hen^y on his knees— not only prayed over, but prayed t h r o u g h — i s again obtainable after being out of print for sev eral years. It is not only a schol arly Exposition of the Scriptures, but is filled with rich soul food a s w e l l . Original and quaint of expression, there is a directness in his utterances which rivets the
attention. The rem arkable insight and discernm ent of its author is apparent on every page. Unlike m ost modern comm entaries this work does not p ro fess to be critical— and therein lies its chief charm . Criticism does not stim ulate devotion.
