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.
