 | | NOTES CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY ON THE FOUR GOSPELS Melancthon Jacobus Charles Hodge, William Henry Green, J.W. Alexander and others from Princeton Seminary said, "The excellent Commentaries of Dr. Melancthon Jacobus have deservedly attained a high reputation, and their wide circulation proves how well they are adapted to the wants of both ministers and laymen. They present, in a brief compass, the results of extensive erudition, abound in judicious exposition and pertinent illustration, and are, moreover, distinguished by doctrinal soundness, evangelical character, and an eminently devout spirtit." "Jacobus is sound and plain, and is therefore a safe guide to Sunday-School teachers and others who need to see the results of learning without the display of it." - C.H. Spurgeon "This work is characterized by solid learning, sound doctrine, and lucid statements, a pleasant style, and the most serious spirit of piety. It is much needed." William S. Plumer "I consider that I would be doing service to the cause of pure religion, scriptural theology, and saving piety, could I contribute to the introduction of Professor Jacobus' Notes into the families, Sabbath Schools, and Bible Classes of our land." - Thomas Smyth "Jacobus writes in the popular style of Albert Barnes, and is solidly Reformed. Some commentators make you plow an acre to find a single nugget; but not Jacobus. His exegetical notes are concise but meaty, with rich veins of practical exposition." -Dr. Robert P.

Jacobus (1816-1876) wrote this outstanding work on the Acts of the Apostles in 1859. In his own words (taken from the Preface) "As the only Inspired Histrory of the New Testament Church is here given, it becomes most deeply interesting and useful to Christians of all time to mark the great principles here illustrated; to observe the true nature of Christ's Kingdom, as here set forth, and to note the true Idea of the Church, and the laws of its progress. The important use of this Book to the Church in all time cannot be over-rated." Charles Hodge, William Henry Green, J.W. Alexander and others from Princeton Seminary said, "The excellent Commentaries of Dr. Melancthon Jacobus have deservedly attained a high reputation, and their wide circulation proves how well they are adapted to the wants of both ministers and laymen. They present, in a brief compass, the results of extensive erudition, abound in judicious exposition and pertinent illustration, and are, moreover, distinguished by doctrinal soundness, evangelical character, and an eminently devout spirtit."

Some commentators make you plow an acre to find a single nugget; but not Jacobus. His exegetical notes are concise but meaty, with rich veins of practical exposition." -Dr. Robert P. Martin While Jacobus' Notes on the Gospels was reprinted 30 years ago this volume has been buried for more than 100 years. It is high time the modern church was confronted again with the messaged of Acts. There is no better place to go than this work to help uncover the meaning and application of this Inspired Volume.

 | | THE CHRISTIAN'S HERITAGE Twenty Selected Expository Sermons Melancthon Jacobus, with Autobiography edited by Matthew Newkirk "Many former parishioners and admiring hearers of Dr. Jacobus have requested for publication those sermons which they have heard with profit. And these have been gathered and are now presented, without alteration or revision, just as they were written and left. There has been no such selection as would display mere exegetical skill or literary power. Those who have demanded the volume have made the choice of the contents. And these favorite discourses are issued with the prayer that he, being dead, may yet speak to many hearts with words of comfort, joy, and conviction." - from the Preface This precious volume of sermons by the man who wrote the outstanding commentaries on the Four Gospels and Acts was first and foremeost a preacher of God's Word. One needs only to read the first few paragraphs of the opening sermon, "The Christian's Heritage", to see, and feel, that this was a man of the Book. Scripture alone captivated this man because it spoke always of Christ. By the time you finish the opening sermon you will be riding high on the winds of heaven. A dear friend, Rev. William M. Paxton, wrote the following of Jacobus in his memorial address: "He died in the faith of those blessed truths which he has so ably expounded and so eloquently preached. Man's Sinfulness and Christ's Salvation were the great truths which appeared in his whole work as an expositor and preacher. He had a deep sense of his own personal unworthiness in the sight of God, and this led him with simple faith to accept Christ's righteousness as his only hope. In this confidence he lived and died." - TABLE OF CONTENTS Autobiographical Sketch of Dr. Jacobus 1- THE CHRISTIAN HERITAGE - 1 Cor. 3:21-23 2- LOSING OR SAVING LIFE - Mark 8:35 3- LIMITATIONS OF THE DIVINE WORKING - Mark 6:5 4- CHRIST THE IDEAL MISSIONARY - Acts 10:38 5- THE LAW OF THE DIVINE MANIFESTATION - John 14:22,23 6- THE FIVE "ONE THINGS" - Lk. 10:42; Mk. 10:21; Jn 9:25; Ps. 27:4; Pjil. 3:13 7- TO THE UTTERMOST - Heb. 7:25 8- PERSONAL LOVE OF JESUS - John 11:5 9- THE MERCHANT SEEKING CHRIST AND SOUGHT BY HIM - Luke 19:9,10 10- TEARFUL SOWING AND JOYFUL REAPING - Psalm 126:5,6 11- CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLE - Luke 16:10 12- UNIVERSAL THANKFULNESS - 1 Thess. 5:18 13- FEAR AND FAITH - Psalm 56:3 14- NO PERSONAL SALVATION EXCEPT BY PERSONAL SANCTIFICATION - John 13:8,9 15- MODERN INDIFFERENTISM - Acts 18:17 16- THE JOY OF GOD'S SALVATION - Psalm 51:12,13 17- EVERY MAN HIS OWN BUILDER - 1 Cor. 3:14,15 18- THE EAGLE'S NEST - Deut. 32:11,12 19- OUR HEAVENLY HOME - John 14:2 20- THE DOUBLE CALL - Rev. 22:17 Melancthon Jacobus Works Pre-Publication Price - Nearly 50% Off SGCB Price: $16.95 (list price $32.00)Order with Complete Four Volume Set on the New Testament SGCB Price: $50.00 (list price $107.00)Matthew, Mark & Luke, John and Acts (This Price Valid Only When Ordering The Christian Heritage |
