Overview

This extensive twenty-volume collection is a commentary of different essays, sermons, anecdotes, and interpretations of various Scripture passages. Scottish Presbyterian minister James Hastings compiled The Great Texts of the Bible in the early twentieth century. Hastings provides helpful and personal observations on Scripture texts throughout the entire Bible, resulting in over nine thousand pages of material. He presents word meanings, expositions, poetry and quotations from many authors and thinkers, as well as a list of references and literature used for each text. Each section is outlined into major topics and points, offering readable commentary.

The Great Texts of the Bible is perfect for pastors and anyone wanting expository notes on key passages of Scripture. Hastings’s work is encouraging, clear, and well-researched. Each volume contains both a topical and a Scripture passage table of contents for reference.

    I was unfamiliar with this work before I purchased it on a Logos pre-publication special. (I decided to purchase it simply based on the description.) Now, I'm in love with this resource! While this is not a verse-by-verse commentary, the "great passages" that Hastings selected are very thoroughly explicated in essay form. It's like listening to a saintly, aged hero in the faith expound his life-long relationship with each passage! The essays are rich with contextual and devotional insight. This resource is now on my "must-consult" list when I'm doing textual study!
