We\u2019d like to share with you a little bit more about the author of these <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/store\/product.php?productid=83031\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Expositions<\/a><\/em>, why we\u2019ve adapted them for use in the Olive Tree App, and how you can benefit from his sermons in your own study of the Scriptures. First, let\u2019s learn more about Alexander Maclaren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who was Alexander Maclaren?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alexander Maclaren was born in Scotland in 1826. He would live to the age of 84 before dying on May 5, 1910 in Edinburgh. While the beginning and end of his life took place in Scotland, most of his life was spent in England where he went to college and later served as a pastor. He excelled in his studies and became quite proficient in Hebrew and Greek, which he maintained through daily devotions in the original languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p>After completing his studies, he began his pastoral ministry at Portland Chapel in Southampton at the age of 19 and labored there until taking on the pastorate at Union Chapel in Manchester twelve years later. He remained at Union Chapel for 45 years before retiring in 1903. While he took on leadership roles for the Baptist Union and Victoria University later in life, he was primarily and almost single-mindedly a preacher. It is his labor in the pulpit that led to his sermons being published later as the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/store\/product.php?productid=83031\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Expositions of Holy Scripture<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While a contemporary of the great Baptist preacher C. H. Spurgeon, Maclaren has largely come to be eclipsed by the so-called \u201cPrince of Preachers\u201d in our modern minds. However, his greatness was widely recognized by his contemporaries leading some to quip that Maclaren was known as the \u201cPrince of Expositors.\u201d An amusing note about the seriousness with which he went about his study is that every morning when he entered his study at 9:00 AM, he would remove his shoes and put on heavy-duty work boots to impress upon himself the seriousness of the hard work he was engaged in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artuk.org\/artworks\/dr-alexander-mclaren-18261910-223122\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"988\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OU_RPK_HH15-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55234\" style=\"width:596px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OU_RPK_HH15-001.jpg 988w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OU_RPK_HH15-001-247x300.jpg 247w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OU_RPK_HH15-001-843x1024.jpg 843w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OU_RPK_HH15-001-768x933.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 988px) 100vw, 988px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artuk.org\/artworks\/dr-alexander-mclaren-18261910-223122\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Alexander Mclaren (1826-1910)<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In comparing Maclaren to some of his contemporaries, F. B. Meyer spoke highly of Maclaren. He wrote, \u201cAs an expository preacher none of them equaled Maclaren of Manchester, and no other sermons were so widely read the world around . . . Dr. Maclaren is said with truth to have changed the whole style of the British pulpit, and to have influenced it more (than) any of his predecessors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Adapt His Sermons for the Olive Tree App?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is the impact of such a man that makes his writings appealing for us to adapt and make available in the Olive Tree App. Our formatting team has been working hard and making as many of his sermons available. We now have hundreds of his sermons covering many of the books of the Bible available for the first time. Before we show you some samples from his sermons, here\u2019s how some have described his expositions and preaching style. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tim Perrine writes,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cBroadly evangelical in nature, Maclaren\u2019s sermons are not historical &#8211; rarely referring to the current events of his day &#8211; allowing them to retain their interest and power since he first gave them. <em>Expositions of Holy Scriptures<\/em> is thus highly practical and lively. It makes a wonderful companion to more textually oriented commentaries. To read <em>Expositions of Holy Scripture<\/em> is to be in the presence of one of the greatest preachers of the last few centuries.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Ernest H. Jeffs describes Maclaren\u2019s preaching in this way,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe charm of Maclaren&#8217;s preaching was intellectual and artistic. It lay in the logical closeness and firmness of his exposition, architectural culmination of proof and argument, warmth and richness of his metaphor and illustrations; and under all this was the stern challenge to righteousness and repentance, breaking into sunshine, so to speak, when the emphasis changes from the God who judges to the Jesus who redeems.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Study Scripture with Maclaren\u2019s Expositions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Olive Tree App is a wonderful tool you can use to study Scripture. One of the best features of our app is the Resource Guide. The Resource Guide assists you in studying Scripture by allowing you to access related content in your Olive Tree library that meshes with the Scripture passage you have open in the main window.
