"Dr. James W. Alexander's sermons are masterpieces of biblical, doctrinal, experiential, and practical preaching rolled into one. Here is preaching at its best-shepherding the hearts of believers, challenging unbelievers to flee to Calvary, and praising the majestic, gracious Triune God-all based on sound, reverential exegesis of the biblical text. A Shepherd's Heart helps fill the void of solid sermon material so prevalent today, and shows how penetrating good, timeless preaching can be. Buy and read, and let your soul delight itself in life-shaping truth." - Joel BeekeThe Princeton Seminary professors, and many others, were convinced that the American pulpit had few superiors to James Waddel Alexander. Charles Hodge said that it was the combination of natural ability, wide scholarship, eloquence, and Christian devotion that made J. W. Alexander, "not the first of orators to hear on rare occasions, but the first of preachers to sit under, month after month and year after year." - David B. Calhoun
Louis Berkhof (1873-1957) is best known for his one volume "Systematic Theology", that has gone through numerous editions and been translated in numerous languages. Here we have the humble genius of Berkhof in a small but priceless study on the subject close to the heart of everyone concerned about eternity. In his own words: "This little book is born of the conviction that the subject of the assurance of faith deserves more attention that it often receives in the present day. We are not living in an age in which Christian certitude can be taken for granted. The enemy is exerting himself to destroy the foundation which God has laid for our faith in his excellent Word. Doubts respecting the most fundamental truths of the Bible are rampant everywhere and are making inroads in the Church of Jesus Christ. Question-marks are fast taking the place of positive assertions of the truth. Such an atmosphere is not conducive to the assurance of salvation, but threatens to rob the Christian of this precious gem. It is hoped that this little treatise may be of some service in the cultivation of assurance especially among our rising generation."
Patrick Fairbairn (1805-1874) was a gifted and faithful servant of Christ best known for his commentaries and works on Prophecy and Typology. This lesser known work deserves a plave alongside those other great works.Roger Nicole contends: "It is high time that in the midst of controversies in which all kinds of accusations are leveled against the use of the Old Testament by New Testament authors the painstaking work of Patrick Fairbairn and his monumental scholarship be once again taken into consideration."Sinclair Ferguson says, "I have a copy of Fairbairn and often wondered why it hasn't been reprinted . . . I suspect the title has put publishers off (hermeneutical plus manual being a bit much for today's readers!). I think Fairbairn was really an extraordinarily able man and a great servant of the church . . . so I'm enthusiastic about this reprint!"
James W. Alexander (1804-1859) was the eldest son of Archibald Alexander of Princeton Seminary fame. Considered one of the foremost preachers of his day, J.W. Alexander devoted his early labors to writing books for young people. This volume is perhaps his very best, as he seeks to present Bible Study in a manner that is utterly unique. Instead of composing a volume on the Bible like most writers have done he wrote a story about two young boys who visited their godly uncle Austin who was nicknamed "the Bible man." This is a brilliantly written introduction to the English Bible that would be useful for anyone of any age who desires to get the most out of his Bible.
