Handbook for Bible Teachers and Preachers

by G. Campbell Morgan

The author maintains that the central message of each book of the Bible must be familiar and thoroughly understood before a teacher or preacher can effectively interpret its message. So, with Morgan's masterly expository touch, he provids keynotes for all 66 books of Scripture. His gift for analyzing and organizing the truth of the Bible is superb. In ready-reference form, this HANDBOOK supplies background material, easy-to-follow commentary, and contemporary applications on each book of the Bible. In addition, concise outlines titled, "The Permanent Values" appear at the beginning of each chapter. Readers can pinpoint precisely the lessons to be learned from each book. Parallel to the beginning outline is a section, "The Living Message," which often highlights one or two outstanding verses in the book.

About the author

Reverend Doctor George Campbell Morgan D.D. was a British evangelist, preacher and a leading Bible scholar. A contemporary of Rodney "Gipsy" Smith, Morgan preached his first sermon at age 13. He was the pastor of Westminster Chapel in London from 1904 to 1919, and from 1933 to 1943, pausing briefly between to work at Biola in Los Angeles, which he eventually handed over to Martyn Lloyd Jones.

Morgan was a prolific author, writing over 60 works in his lifetime, not counting the publishing of some of his sermons as booklets and pamphlets. In addition to composing extensive biblical commentaries, and writing on myriad topics related to the Christian life and ministry, his essay entitled "The Purposes of the Incarnation" is included in a famous and historic collection called The Fundamentals—a set of 90 essays edited by the famous R. A. Torrey, who himself was successor to D. L. Moody both as an evangelist and pastor—which is widely considered to be the foundation of the modern Christian Fundamentalist movement.
