Ephesians (Charles Hodge)
$22.00The great virtue of Hodge on Ephesians is his ability constantly to communicate the sense and overall argument of a passage. A peerless teacher, his aim, with the pen as in the classroom, was ‘the simple exhibition of the truth which God had revealed’- his own description of Paul’s preaching.
One of the outstanding Geneva Series commentaries.
“Hodge is most valuable. With no writer do we more fully agree.” — Charles H. Spurgeon

Galatians: A Geneva Series Commentary (John Brown)
$30.00The expositions of John Brown (1784-1858) are unusually helpful to all kinds of readers. Spurgeon said in his Commenting and Commentaries, “Brown is a modern Puritan of the utmost value. The volume on Galatians is one of the scarcest books in the market.”
As a theological professor, Brown was strongly convinced that his students’ view should be ‘not only consistent with, but derived from a careful exegesis of the ‘words which the Holy Ghost teacheth’…it has been my sincere desire to bring out of the inspired words what is really in them, and to put nothing into them that is not really there.’ But as the pastor of a congregation, Brown was also anxious that his expositions should edify all Christians and not only instruct students. As a result his commentaries are unusually helpful to all kinds of readers.

Romans (Robert Haldane)
$34.00‘Dr. Chalmers styled this “a well-built commentary”, and strongly recommended it to students of theology. In his “Sabbath Readings” he writes: “I am reading Haldane’s Exposition of the Epistle to the Romans, and find it solid and congenial food.”‘ — C. H. Spurgeon
Robert Haldane’s Exposition of Romans, both in its contents and in the power of its influence, stands among the foremost of the many treatments of the epistle. As a commentary, Thomas Chalmers ‘strongly recommended’ it; Spurgeon put it in the front rank, and more recently, Martyn Lloyd-Jones owed ‘much profit and pleasure’ to it, characterizing its contents as unsurpassed in ‘warmth of spirit’ and ‘practical application’.

1 & 2 Corinthians (Charles Hodge)
$28.00“The more we use Hodge, the more we value him. This applies to all his commentaries.” — Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Charles Hodge’s work on 1 and 2 Corinthians, which is part of the Geneva Series of Commentaries, forms one of the most significant parts of the plan for a series of ‘popular commentaries’ on the New Testament. He projected to do this with J. A. Alexander in the 1850s.
When the early death of Alexander prevented the completion of the series, the individual volumes were quickly prized in their own right and went through many editions on both sides of the Atlantic.

Hebrews (John Brown)
$32.00Commentaries generally belong to one of two categories. Either they aim at a devotional thoroughness which lays no great emphasis on the exact meaning of individual words, or they concentrate on such a detailed examination of the text that the spirit and power of the book is largely lost. Among the few commentators who stand between these two positions is Dr. John Brown of Edinburgh (1784-1858).
By seeking to develop a style of exposition that was both edifying to his congregation and valuable to his divinity students, he produced commentaries which, in the words of Dr. William Cunningham, ‘formed a marked era in the history of Scriptural Interpretation’. Not behind the foremost contemporary scholars in his emphasis on correct exegesis, he nevertheless sought not only that the minds of his readers might be brought ‘into immediate contact with the mind of the Spirit’ but that their whole being might be resigned to ‘the empire of the Word of God’.

The Religious Affections (Jonathan Edwards)
$16.50he question driving this book, which Edwards wrote as part of his defense of the awakenings of the 1730s-1740s, is: “What are the distinguishing qualifications of those that are in favor with God, and entitled to his eternal life?”, or, in a shorter form, “What is the nature of true religion?”
A work of lasting value for the help of serious Christians in every generation, this book gives principles by which to assess the validity of a time of revival: is this a work of the Spirit of God?

“From what I have seen, this is so far the best side-by-side reading companion you can have for the gospels.” — Pastor Steve Martin, Heritage Church, Fayetteville, GA
About the Author
In 1841, Ryle was ordained as a minister in the Church of England. In his first position in a rural parish he developed the plain and direct style of communication that would mark his future ministry. He served at several churches for the next forty years, during which time he wrote hundreds of evangelistic tracts. He was a wildly popular writer. His tracts sold more than 12 million copies in his lifetime, and were eventually translated into about a dozen European and Asian languages.
While his ministry flourished, Ryle’s home life was challenging. In 1844, he married his first wife, who died in 1847. He married again in 1849. The couple was happy, but his wife’s health was poor, so the pastor seldom travelled and practically raised his children alone. When his second wife died in 1860, he became a single father with five children between 2 and 14 years old.
Despite these hardships, Ryle became a leader among the evangelical clergy in his day. In 1880, he was appointed the first bishop of the newly formed diocese of Liverpool. Because the diocese was new, it had no system of leadership, no formal administration. During his tenure as Bishop of Liverpool, Ryle raised enough funds to build 90 new houses of worship, ordained over 500 deacons, 500 ministers, and at least 45 salaried lay Scripture readers and 31 Bible women. He founded the Lay Helpers Association, an organization that oversaw Sunday schools, Bible classes, mission services, and cared for sick.
