Expositions of Holy Scripture: St John Chs. XV to XXI
by Alexander MacLaren
Summary
Called the "prince of expositors,"
Alexander MacLaren was a renowned preacher of the 19th and 20th century.
Expositions of Holy Scripture brings together many of the sermons
over
his fifty years in ministry. Although it discusses many different books
and passages of the Bible, Expositions of Holy Scripture isn't a
commentary in the fullest sense--for example, MacLaren doesn't comment
on every verse. Rather, these volumes are MacLaren's powerful sermons,
arranged by the text of the sermons. Broadly evangelical in nature,
MacLaren's sermons are not historical--rarely referring to the current
events of his day--allowing them to retain their interest and power
since he first gave them. Expositions of Holy Scriptures is thus
highly
practical and lively. It makes a wonderful companion to more textually
oriented commentaries. To read Expositions of Holy Scripture is
to be
in
the presence of one of the greatest preachers of the last few
centuries.
