OLD TESTAMENT COMMENTARY BOOK BUNDLE
This book bundle includes 4 Old Testament Commentaries:
An Exposition of the First Book of Moses called Genesis
by John Gill
This volume in our Newport Commentary Series is presented in an easy-to-read format, complete and unabridged from the pen of one of the leading Bible expositors of the eighteenth century. Making skillful use of an extensive acquaintance with Jewish rabbinical literature and other ancient historical writings, John Gill brings before the reader a narrative of uncommon interest, woven within a substantial, reliable exposition of this important book. First published in 1763. Bound in grade B black cloth vellum with gold stamping and colored dustjacket. 836 pages.
An Exposition of Deuteronomy 33: The Blessings of Moses on the Children of Israel
As presented in a series of sermons
by William Parkinson
The author of this unique Exposition of Deuteronomy 33, was pastor of the First Baptist Church, New York, for over thirty-five years and it was there that the essence of these sermons was first presented, beginning in 1828. In these two volumes (originally published separately, but now combined into one volume), Parkinson not only expounds the text itself, which has to do with the blessings pronounced by Moses upon each of the tribes of Israel, but brings to bear other related subjects in the Word of God which will aid in illuminating one’s overall understanding of biblical things. Interesting topics, ranging from the salvation of those dying in infancy to a discussion of what constituted the Urim and Thummim, are capably dealt with along the way.
The exposition is presented as it should be―both literal and typical. Moses is herein portrayed as a type of Christ, who bestows blessings and appropriate admonitions upon His people for their good and His glory. Parkinson’s expressed desire was that these sermons “in the hand of the Holy Spirit,” might “be instrumental, in comforting believers―in awakening sinners―and in directing inquiring souls to Christ.”
First published in 1831 and 1839, our facsimile reprint includes a new nine-page biographical introduction and four illustrations (including two different portraits of Parkinson). We have corrected the original “errata” listed at the back of these books, as well as other typographical errors we discovered while cleaning up the pages for publication. 1134 pages, including a very helpful topical index. Clothbound hard-cover.
An Exposition of the Book of Psalms - Volume 1
Set Forth as Prophetic of Christ and His Church
by Samuel Eyles Pierce
This two-volume set on the Psalms by Samuel Eyles Pierce (1746-1829) was formerly one of the scarcest of the full-length Scripture expositions to be found by this early nineteenth-century Baptist minister and author. When we set out to publish this work, not a single library in the US or Canada listed it among their collections! And in Great Britain, only two libraries were shown to have the volumes. Over a century ago, C. H. Spurgeon in his well-known book Commenting and Commentaries (1885), stated that even in his day this set was "very scarce," while commending Pierce as one who "writes to comfort and edification" on the Psalms. We are therefore honored to make this work available once more to the present generation of Christians.
What makes Pierce's exposition unique among others on the Psalms is that he views the whole book (not just the "messianic" Psalms), as prophetic of Christ and His Church and expounds each chapter in accordance with this central theme. The result is a spiritually rich, Christ-centered treatise on this favorite Old Testament book. Pierce was a Christian very much in the mold of John Bunyan, and readers are sure to profit from a careful study of these books. Bound in grade B black cloth vellum hardcover with acid-free paper. Smyth-sewn. Volume 1 - 669 pages with portrait of Pierce and manuscript note by Pierce.
An Exposition of the Book of Psalms - Volume 2
Set Forth as Prophetic of Christ and His Church
by Samuel Eyles Pierce
Volume 2 - 704 pages with portrait of Pierce and map of "Scenes in the Life of Samuel Eyles Pierce."
