Expositions Of Holy Scripture

Reproduction of the original.

Expositions of Holy Scripture contains sermons by Alexander Maclaren. Alexander Maclaren was an English non-conformist minister of Scottish origin. His love towards religion started from an early age and he was always sure about becoming a minister, entirely devoted to his calling. There is no wonder some say his preaching was the perfect mixture of the science of exegeting biblical texts and preaching them. In this book readers will find the collection of his famous sermons.

Alexander Maclaren was born in 1826 at Glasgow, Scotland, the son of David Maclaren, who was a merchant and Baptist lay preacher. Maclaren was converted and publicly baptized at the age of twelve. He was educated at Glasgow High School and Glasgow University. In 1842, at the age of sixteen, Maclaren entered Stepney College, a Baptist institution in London. He took his BA degree at the University of London before he was twenty. The following year he began his ministry at Portland Chapel, Southampton. He worked there for twelve years and developed a reputation as a powerful preacher. He then accepted an invitation to become pastor at Union Chapel, Fallowfield, Manchester, where he remained until his retirement in 1903.

The author praises Gratian’s zeal for instruction in the Faith, and speaks lowly of his own merits. Taught of God Himself, the Emperor stands in no need of human instruction; yet this his devoutness prepares the way to victory. The task appointed to the author is difficult: in the accomplishment whereof he will be guided not so much by reason and argument as by authority, especially that of the Nicene Council.

"Expositions of Holy Scripture: Isaiah and Jeremiah" by Alexander Maclaren As a renowned preacher, Maclaren diligently studied the bible and was, therefore, able to create texts that allowed the masses to understand scripture. In this book, he explains how one can turn to prayer in the hopes of redemption by showing the stories of prophets who evangelized in God's name. To this day, this book is a fundamental part of religious curricula around the world.
