Product Highlights

• Features over 1,500 sermons in Biblical order
• Maclaren was called "the prince of expository preachers"

"As an expository preacher none of them equaled Maclaren of Manchester, and no other sermons were so widely read the world around. . . . Dr. Maclaren is said with truth to have changed the whole style of the British pulpit, and to have influenced it more (than) any of his predecessors."

—F.B. Meyer

"Alexander Maclaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture are the wonder of modern preachers because he steadily throughout a long life pursued his Hebrew and Greek studies. He had consummate genius and he added to it fullness of knowledge by means of laborious scholarship."

—A. T. Robertson, The Minister and His Greek New Testament

"Maclaren is a homiletical well that never runs dry. I have often warned young preachers not to read Maclaren too early in their sermon preparation, for they will be tempted to preach him! You should own this set, read it, and learn from it."

—Warren Wiersbe, A Basic Library for Bible Students

"In these volumes, Preachers will find a fine example of expository preaching."

—Cyril Barber, The Minister's Library

This 32-volume series, numbering nearly 13,000 pages in print, is a superb collection of Maclaren sermons. Maclaren laboriously studied the Scriptures in their original languages and consequently possessed great insight into the text. His knowledge and understanding was preserved for us in the more than 1,500 sermons and expositions (spanning almost every book of the Bible) contained in these volumes. Additionally, this set includes one of the most comprehensive indices of any major expositional work available today.

About the Author
Alexander Maclaren (1826-1910) felt called to preach from a young age and delivered his first sermon when he was seventeen years old. Maclaren attended the Baptist College in Stepney where he was greatly influenced by the Principal Benjamin Davies. Through Maclaren's time at Stepney College and his time with Davies, Maclaren became a committed student of the original Bible languages and would often enrich his listeners (and readers) through his keen understanding of the original tongue.

Maclaren's first pastorate was a small, dying church in Southhampton. It was of his time in Southhampton that Maclaren would later say, 'I thank God for the early days of struggle and obscurity.' Indeed, Maclaren was intent on excelling at preaching and pastoring his small flock; he would often refuse invitations to speak at other churches and conferences. Despite his initial obscurity, in 1858 Maclaren moved to Manchester where, after eleven years, the church had need to build a 1,500-seat building, and Maclaren's homiletical abilities became famous throughout the English-speaking world. In 1905, after 45 years of ministry, Maclaren resigned as pastor.

The fruit of Maclaren's commitment to diligent Bible study has been passed on to later generations through his many expository writings. In them, the reader will find the writings a learned and dedicated man who was eager to clearly communicate the gospel of Christ to his readers. Highly educated, yet known for his humility, Maclaren's works will inspire you to continue in the endurance of the Scriptures for the glory of Christ.

Exclamations of "Expositions", December 16, 2010

By: Ron Ogle, pastor

This is one resource every Bible expositor - no matter what your position - should own. Maclaren was / is used of God to truly "exposit Holy Scripture." The exegetical work alone is far more than the "price," for the value far exceeds that. The insights in God''s Word that are provided in this lifetime of work are more than "a preacher''s friend." The homiletics are second to none, but cannot replace the Bible students own work of development and delivery of the message that God has for His people.
