G Campbell Morgan

ANY one reading these passages of Scripture for the first time would certainly be quite as much impressed by their disparities as by their similarities. It is the custom of the Christian Church to speak of the commission of Jesus, as though there were but one, which the four evangelists record in different words. This conception is the result of superficial observation, and the measure in which it dominates our thinking is the measure in which we fail to recognize the spaciousness and inclusiveness of the missionary commission, and fail therefore to understand the real responsibility of the Church.

Over the years many books based on the Life of Christ have been published. Of these, some have emphasized the facts of His humanity, others the truth of his Deity. While these volumes, therefore, present the Person of Jesus, this work-by the Prince of Expositors-examines His Life as the accomplishment of a Divine work. With rare insight, accuracy of definition, and countless illuminating strokes, G. Campbell Morgan devotes these thirty-three chapters to the pivotal events in Christ's life. The seven crises are: the Birth, the Baptism, the Temptation, the Transfiguration, the Death, the Resurrection, and the Ascension. Included is a preliminary chapter, ""The Call for Christ-Man Fallen,"" and a concluding chapter, ""The Answer for Christ-Man Redeemed."" Four indexes complete the volume.

This commentary by preacher and theologian G. Campbell Morgan explains Paul's epistle to the Romans, and how man's salvation is to be found through Jesus Christ. Informed by his scholarship in the Biblical lore, Morgan presents here a convincing and authoritative account of Paul's writing in the context of Christian history. The multifaceted message of Paul is one of great significance - recognizing this, Morgan efforts to do justice to every theme and aspect of relevant discussion. Combining a knowledge of Christian theology and doctrine with the biographical coverage of Paul the Apostle's life and activities, the reader is certain to find this commentary illuminating. Within the Epistle is not merely a declaration of Christ's significance, but explanations of the Christian creed and how the life of a faithful person should be lived. Given that such details emerged early in the history of Christianity, the Pauline epistle to the Romans is a window to the early history and development of the religion. As one of the earliest dated Christian texts of the New Testament - scholars place its authorship between A. D. 51 and 56 - we receive insights into how the beliefs developed. In all, G. Campbell Morgan delivers here a competent, informative and respectful narration of one of Christianity's most significant texts.

G. Campbell Morgan offers his perspective on the life and actions of Jesus Christ, placing his character in the context of man's relationship with the Lord God. An all-embracing account of the life of Jesus, we are taken chronologically through the existence of the Christ. The circumstances of his birth, his 'hidden years' as a youth in Nazareth, his baptism and the temptation he faced in the desert, and the success of his sermons in ancient Judea. His conviction and crucifixion by the Roman occupiers are detailed, as is the Resurrection and finally the Ascension of Jesus to the heavenly realms. All along the way, G. Campbell Morgan gives us a perspective supported by the very words of scripture, demonstrating how the life and accomplishments of Jesus would influence how mankind interacts with the divine. As well as being the founder of Christianity, the sufferings and trials of Jesus would become a beacon to many - his ultimate sacrifice, dying upon a crucifix for the sake of mankind's relations with God, was an event of immense gravity. Unlike previous flawed reprints of the text, this edition has been examined and edited to the point of resembling the original publication. The reader may thus enjoy Morgan's narration to the fullest.

G. Campbell Morgan offers commentary upon the Book of Malachi, detailing its wisdom, spiritual advice, and relevance to the modern Christian. Closely examining the text, Morgan explains the key elements of Malachi's prophecy, mentioning his belief early in his narrative that the value of Malachi's words are greater in the modern day than ever before. Justifying this claim, Morgan examines the time in which Malachi made his predictions, and demonstrates how these have been shown as correct in later literature and echoed in other prophecies. Traversing the scriptures with his signature fluency, Morgan conducts a verse-by-verse analysis of Malachi. Cross-referencing these with other passages of the Bible, in both the Old and New Testaments, the author passionately makes the case that Malachi is an underappreciated prophet whose words resonate throughout scripture and time. With deft attention to the core pillar of Malachi's prophecy, we witness how the gospels - despite appearing some four centuries after the Book of Malachi - reflect the words of the prophet. Yet even more than this we witness how the progress of mankind; the spreading of God's word to all parts of the Earth with missions; and the qualities of the Christian believer are all predicted and predicated by Malachi's prophecy.
