Alexander Maclaren Study Bible

In every generation of Christians, there are preachers and teachers whose influence extends beyond their lifetimes with works that continue to challenge and uplift believers today. But not all are equally known—some are hidden treasures, waiting for you to rediscover them. Nineteenth-century preacher Alexander Maclaren is one of those whose wisdom still delights and inspires.

Heralded as the “Prince of Expositors,” Maclaren served as the pastor of Union Chapel in Manchester, England, from 1858–1903. During his lifetime, Maclaren’s published sermons received global acclaim with a popularity that rivaled that of his contemporary, C. H. Spurgeon. It was his approach to preaching that made him stand out among his peers. Rather than preaching a topical message drawn from a biblical text, Maclaren devoted himself to methodically explaining the meaning of the Scripture, drawing connections to Christ with text-grounded application. Delivered in a beautiful and poetic style, his more than 1,500 published sermons continue to provide a wealth of fresh ideas and motivation for all who read them.
