The Religious Affections (Jonathan Edwards)
he 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?

1 John (Robert Candlish)
Robert Candlish’s exposition of 1 John, in the Geneva Series of Commentaries, was the ripe fruit of years of careful and delighted study of the great themes in the teaching of the Apostle John. The reader will easily notice the vivid joy Candlish takes in this epistle.
His aim was not so much to produce a detailed technical commentary after the fashion of much exegesis in the new German tradition, but to set on display the treasures of John’s letter. Says Candlish, ‘It can be studied aright exegetically, only when it is studied theologically.’ His driving purpose, like that of the apostle, is to see truth and joyful assurance born and brought to maturity in the hearts of his readers. The multi-faceted privileges of fellowship with the Father and the Son through the Spirit are constantly brought to the fore.

Romans (Robert Haldane)
‘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’.

The Message of James (Alec Motyer)
As a good communicator, The Apostle James addressed his readers directly and pointedly with vivid images from ordinary life and attention-gripping statements. Alec Motyer’s rich exposition brings James’s letter to life for today’s reader. Motyer is himself gripped by James’s energy and concern for practical Christianity.
The letter shows how a genuine faith is a tested faith, how encounter with difficulties is an essential part of the growth to Christian maturity this book powerfully brings out James’s memorable themes–the link between enduring trials and maturity; the question of perfection; the good gifts of God; faith, works and Christian concern in a world of human need; the implications of careless and evil words; the meaning of war; the church and healing; confession of sin; and the need for active purity in life.

1 & 2 Corinthians (Charles Hodge)
“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.

“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.
