NEWPORT PARTICULAR BAPTIST COMMENTARY SERIES
John Gill, C.H. Spurgeon, Samuel Stennett, William Pattison
THIS COMMENTARY SERIES IS ALL HARDCOVER, SMYTH-SEWN WITH DUST JACKETS
(1) COMMENTARY ON THE BOOK OF GENESIS by John Gill
This volume is presented for the first time in two hundred years in a new easy-to-read format, complete and unabridged from the pen of one of the leading Bible expositors of the eighteenth century. Making skillful use of an extensive acquaintance with Jewish rabbinical literature and other ancient historical writings, John Gill brings before the reader a narrative of uncommon interest, woven within a substantial, reliable exposition of this important book. First published in 1763. Bound in grade B black cloth vellum with gold stamping and colored dustjacket. 836 pages.
(2) COMMENTARY ON MATTHEW: The Gospel of the Kingdom by Charles H. Spurgeon
First published posthumously in 1893, the year following his death, this volume represents the only New Testament commentary written by Spurgeon and is reproduced here in a facsimile reprint of the original edition published by Passmore and Alabaster, Spurgeon’s publishers. To this 263-page work we have added portraits and other illustrations, but most importantly, a collection of selected unpublished letters to and from Spurgeon, as well as some of his manuscript book reviews and sermon outlines. Transcriptions of each of these has been provided, along with interesting information on the persons and subjects addressed in the correspondence. A glossy insert of color reproductions of some of the more significant letters is included and a previously unpublished work, “Letters on the Down-Grade Controversy, with Notes by Dr. Eric Hayden,” with additional Spurgeon letters, completes this volume. These important additions to our reprint of this fine commentary should make this a highly collectible book. Black cloth hardcover, with gold stamping and color dust-jacket. 70 illustrations. 384 pages.
(3) EXPOSITION OF THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER IN MATTHEW 13 by Samuel Stennett
This new edition of Samuel Stennett's Discourses on the Parable of the Sower, first published in 1785, has been completely re-typeset and includes the memoir of Stennett by Joseph Jenkins originally published in John Rippon's Baptist Annual Register in 1796.
In these six discourses, Stennett first gives a concise overview of parables in general and rules to assist in their interpretation. He then proceeds to cautions regarding the use and abuse of allegory, which can be wisely applied to other portions of Scripture as well. After discussing the leading ideas of this parable in particular, he carefully examines the four "soils" or kinds of hearers the Gospel comes to, which he designates as the inattentive, the enthusiastic, the worldly-minded and the sincere. In addition Stennett provides much sound counsel to those who sow the seed, or "Word of the Kingdom" and those who attend on the ministry of that Word.
(4) 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."
(5) 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.
