MacLaren’s Expositions of Holy Scripture is considered one of the
greatest expositor’s commentary of all time. This commentary has more
than 1,500 sermons arranged in canonical order with more than 46,000
scriptural references, making this collection one of the fullest
expositor’s commentary ever.
For his work MacLaren drew praise from many. A. T. Robertson Said of
MacLaren “His matchless discourses are the fruit of the most exact
scholarship and spiritual enthusiasm.” F. B. Meyer said “As an
expository preacher none of them equaled MacLaren of Manchester, and no
other sermons were so widely read the world around.”
MacLaren was born in Glasgow on February 11, 1826, and died in
Manchester on May 5, 1910. He had been for almost sixty-five years a
minister, entirely devoted to his calling. He lived more than almost any
of the great preachers of his time between his study, his pulpit, his
pen.
His ministry fell into a quiet routine for which he was always
grateful: two sermons on Sunday, a Monday prayer meeting and a Thursday
service and lecture. His parishioners thought his sermons to them were
the best he ever preached. In April 1858 he was called to be minister at
Union Chapel in Manchester. No ministry could have been happier. The
church prospered and a new building had to be erected to seat 1,500;
every sitting was taken. His renown as preacher spread throughout the
English-speaking world. His pulpit became his throne. He was twice
elected President of the Baptist Union. He resigned as pastor in 1905
after a ministry of forty-five years.
MacLaren’s religious life was hid with Christ in God. He walked with
God day by day. He loved Jesus Christ with a reverent, holy love and
lived to make Him known. In his farewell sermon at Union he said: “To
efface oneself is one of a preacher’s first duties.”
