In his exhaustive Exposition on the Entire Bible, John Gill follows the traditional commentary style of a short summary of the book, summary of each chapter, and then commentary on each individual verse following up to the next chapter.
John Gill was a forefather of the Metropolitan Tabernacle we now most associate with Charles Spurgeon. Spurgeon, who spent much time reading and critiquing commentaries, is quick to say that he was unaware of a better commentator of the Old Testament. Gill’s greatest asset was his expertise as a Hebrew scholar.
Spurgeon had his criticisms as well. He wrote publicly that Gill used too many straw-man arguments and held loose interpretations of the Parables. Spurgeon wrote,“Very seldom does he allow himself to be run away with by imagination, except now and then when he tries to open up a parable, and finds a meaning in every circumstance and minute detail; or when he falls upon a text which is not congenial with his creed, and hacks and hews terribly to bring the word of God into a more systematic shape. Gill is the Coryphaeus of hyper-Calvinism, but if his followers never went beyond their master, they would not go very far astray.”
But the bottom-line, Spurgeon writes, is that “the world and the church take leave to question his dogmatism, but they both bow before his erudition [learning] … For good, sound, massive, sober sense in commenting, who can excel Gill?”
At another place, Spurgeon considered this commentary “remarkable for the copiousness of its glossary, the brilliance of its argument, his apprehension of prophecy, and the richness of his Hebrew scholarship. His preparations for the pulpit having, as is well known, furnished the materials for the press, we can but reflect on the priceless value of his ministry.”
In other words, the obvious power of his public preaching endures through the press. This was not a man addicted to scholarship, but a man driven by the conviction to preach through the whole counsel of God. His commentaries exemplify what was certainly a “priceless ministry.”
Richard Muller writes of John Gill that he “stands as perhaps the most erudite [or learned] of the eighteenth-century Dissenting theologies in the tradition of the older orthodoxy” (Post-Reformation Reformed Dogmatics, 3:150). “Erudite” being the same word used by Spurgeon.
There seems to be a consensus that Gill’s writings are firmly founded upon solid biblical scholarship. He shows a deep level of understanding with Scripture, allowing the bible to interpret itself. His wealth of insight into the Hebrew language, tradition and culture soaks both the Old and New Testaments. John Gill’s work stands as an testimony of one man’s faithfulness to preach through the entire bible in light of a culture encouraging men and women to judge divine reality through empty philosophical “rationalism.” He was and remains through his works “a star of the first magnitude amidst surrounding darkness” (Spurgeon).
Having this book on a CD is a dream come true. A wonderful feature of this CD is the ability to "copy and paste" any of the text from its over 21,000 pages into any other computer application/program. Try doing that with a printed book! Everything on this disk is fully searchable. And with so many pages and chapters to study, having built-in Bookmarks is definitely a time saver!
Do you like audio books? Another time-saving feature not talked about
very often is the "Read Aloud" function of Adobe Acrobat Reader. This
feature will allow your computer to read the text of the book to you,
whether it be one page or the entire book! (Don't be fooled by others
on eBay who try to pass off their eBooks as the only ones with this
feature, as it will work with nearly any PDF in Adobe Acrobat)
Not sure what an "eBook" is?
The
term
'eBook' simply means "electronic book", meant for viewing on your
computer or other device. eBooks usually come in Adobe PDF format, as
the one being
offered in this auction. All that is required to read the eBook is a
software program called Adobe Acrobat Reader, which will open PDF
files. Most computers already have the Adobe Acrobat reader software
already installed, but in the rare instance your computer may not have
it, you can download the latest version for FREE at Adobe's Reader site. For
viewing on a mobile device such as Kindle, iPhone, Droid, etc. you must
have an 'app' installed which allows reading of PDF files.
With an eBook, you can read books on your computer screen and zoom in
on the text to make the words as big as you would like them to be to
read comfortably! You can also go to any page or chapter in the book
with just a few mouse clicks, even if the book has thousands of pages!
You can also print out any or all pages you like at your convenience.
With some eBooks, you even have the capability to copy and paste the
text of the book into another computer file, instead of retyping by
hand. These are just a few of the features and conveniences of having a
book in electronic format.
I will send this item by postal mail. Sending this item by email or by
any other digital delivery method is not allowed and violates eBay
policy.
