(1) EXPOSITORY COMMENTARY ON JOHN'S GOSPEL by John Gill
This Exposition of the Gospel According to John was originally presented in the form of sermons delivered by John Gill to his London congregation, and then published in Volumes One and Two of the three - volume set entitled An Exposition of the New Testament (London: Aaron Ward, 1746-1748).
Gill’s Exposition of the Old and New Testaments has long been esteemed by all who love faithful exposition of God’s Word. In this first separate printing on the Gospel of John, the truths of God’s Word are set forth in a richly edifying manner. Drawing on a wealth of Rabbinical literature with which to illustrate the text, Gill presents the reader with a solid and sensible commentary while at the same time not losing sight of the spirituality of the Word, nor of its chief subject, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Dr. Greg Wills writes: "John Gill’s commentaries are among the best in the history of the Christian church. They are helpful like few others. Gill explains the text with unusually sound judgment and sensitivity to the entire canonical context. With spiritual wisdom he is attentive also to the text’s application to Christian living. His knowledge of Jewish backgrounds and of the rabbinic tradition was probably unsurpassed in his generation. This knowledge affords him additional helpful insight into the scriptures. His commentary on the Gospel of John is greatly enriched by the unique perspective this expertise provides.
Baptists and other evangelicals in Gill’s day admired him for his learning and orthodoxy as well as for his spirituality. Evangelicals in London appreciated his uncommon wisdom in the scriptures and endowed a Wednesday lectureship for him. For two decades they sat attentively to hear his expositions of the Bible.
It is needless to remark that we will not agree with Gill at every point, but that does not detract in the least from the immense value of this commentary. Evangelicals of former generations, especially Baptists in England and America, deeply prized Gill’s commentaries. Those of our generation would do well to prize them again."
(2) AN EXPOSITION OF THE EPISTLE TO THE EPHESIANS by William Pattison
Robert E. Pattison (1800-1874) brought years of pastoral experience as well as theological teaching to bear in writing this, 'his only literary monument.' First published in Boston in 1859, C. H. Spurgeon counted this work among the very best on this epistle, stating in his Commenting and Commentaries that it was 'A book to instruct intelligent, experienced believers,' and 'a model for a class-book, plain yet profound.' Includes a biographical essay on the author, an appendix containing Pattison's address to the Warren Baptist Association in which he contends that it is not the outward miracles that would now commend the gospel to others for consideration, but the inward miracle of the transformed life, which then outwardly through a commitment to piety may be effectually used of the Lord in the conversion of others, and a second appendix of a sermon by Hanserd Knollys on Ephesians 1:4. 264 pages.
