, 1881

Overview

The Expositor's Bible has long been a trusted resource for preachers and teachers. Prepared under the direction of W. Robertson Nicoll, who has been referred to as “the greatest religious editor of all time,” The Expositor's Bible is both a commentary and an exposition.

At the close of the nineteenth century, Nicoll employed the talents of 29 top scholars of the day, all who were also preachers. This was to ensure The Expositor's Bible would be a commentary of the highest caliber that would retain the instincts of preachers, and could also be used and understood by anyone.

The authors deliver detailed, expository essays for each and every passage of the Bible. They are written in a style that is easy to understand and easy to apply. Minor details, technical questions. and critical issues are never a distraction. They are relegated to footnotes, which you can take or leave at your own discretion.

One of the things you'll appreciate about The Expositor's Bible is how it goes beyond the text itself, considering what the writer of that text was thinking and feeling when he wrote it. Nicoll's worthy project has stood the test of time and reads as fresh today as when it was written.

About Alexander Maclaren

Alexander Maclaren (1826–1910) was a Baptist preacher in England. He was educated at Stepney College, London, where he studied Hebrew and Greek and learned the discipline of expository preaching. He presided over Portland Chapel in Southhampton for 12 years, Union Chapel in Manchester for 45 years and was twice elected as president of the Baptist Union. His ministerial career spanned nearly 65 years from 1842–1905. MacLaren’s passion for the pulpit ministry was only surpassed by his pursuit of a life hid with God in Christ. He was revered by all who heard him speak and has served as an exemplar of expository preaching for all who have come after him.
