I couldn’t wait for UPS to deliver today.
Not just cause I have a new Bible that was sent.
Not just that it was free for my review thanks to HaperCollins.
But I was excited to see it for it is the Alexander MacLaren Study Bible.
Many thanks to HarperCollins Christian Publishing for providing a sample of the product
for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.
Some in America may not know this name.
MacLaren was a Scottish born preacher known as the “Prince of Expositors”.
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, on February 11, 1826, Alexander Maclaren was the pastor of
Union Chapel in Manchester England from 1858–1903. Heralded as the “Prince of
Expositors,
” he is considered by many to be one of the best preachers of the nineteenth
century, The popularity of Maclaren’s published sermons rivaled that of Charles
Spurgeon, helping him develop global acclaim for remarkable biblical insights delivered in
a poetic style. Maclaren’s works continue to be read and studied due to their timeless
relevance, verbal beauty, and profound freshness.
He had a way of unpacking God’s word for the common people with depth, beauty and conviction.
Union Chapel in Manchester England and end up needing a sanctuary that fit 1,500. A bit unusual even today but this was 1870’s era!
MacLaren was a student of Gods word and saw the way the NT and OT tied together. His commentaries on Revelation are evident of this as they are free of ideas that wouldn’t crop up till around his death that read more between the lines than what was written.
