An Exegetical Work on the Five Points of Calvinism -- Augustus Toplady left and admirable written evaluation of Gill's contribution to the cause of the doctrines of grace. He said, "No man since Augustine has written so largely in defense of the system of Grace, and certainly no man has treated that momentous subject, in all its branches, more closely, judiciously, and successfully," said Augustus Toplady of Gill. This is a masterful defense of the doctrines of sovereign grace by which Gill refuted the popular Arminian writings of his day.
The translator has done a truly excellent job of putting Calvin's work into a very readable English format. If you have ever wanted to read Calvin, here is your chance. Frankly, one might compare the study of Calvin to the opportunity to either sit with Christ on the mount or later to hear Matthew retell the story. Why go to a secondary source when Calvin is so easy to understand and so readily available in this edition? These pages bring Calvin right into your living room, where you learn the reformed faith first hand. To sum it up: Pastor, student, or layman, if you don't have this work in your study collection, such a collection is incomplete. Complete enough to suit the demands of the scholar, written so the average layman can understand, here is John Calvin. This is a terrific tool in understanding our Reformed faith from the very father of the reformation that led to the Presbyterian Church.
Arthur W. Pink was an exacting person. He was blessed (some say plagued) with a photographic memory. He never forgot what he had read, and upon occasion would prove it by stating the volume and page where he read a certain comment. Because of this, some found him hard to bear, since, if he were challenged, he could quote Scriptures by the hundreds to back up a statement of his. He plainly felt it was better to be right, than to be socially acceptable. Many a roast in the oven was burned to a crisp because Pink would preach 2 hours on a Sunday morning (from 11 a.m to 1 p.m). This is the commentary to own, if you cannot afford Owen. Why? Because Pink was an excellent judge of quality commenting, and he quotes extensively from Owen, Brown, Saphir, Gouge, etc. Along with the excellencies of these expositors, you get Pink's own valuable interpretations. You will find many unique comments in all of Pink's works. Yet he is such a close reasoner, and so adept at marshalling Scripture, that it is difficult to say, 'This time, Mr. Pink, you are wrong.' You will never regret the purchase of this set (3 vols. in 2).
In large, easy to read print (Tahoma, 16') prolific writer Arthur W. Pink's "The Divine Inspiration of the Bible is presented. In one of Pink's classic and most widely read books, he defines the meaning of "divine inspiration" and goes on to give evidences of the constantcy and trustworthiness of the Bible. In addition, he shows how various Old Testament characters are types of Christ. Pink is easy to understand, concise, and to the point.
