Malachi's Message to the Men of Today: A Bible Study of Old Testament Prophecy

by G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan offers commentary upon the Book of Malachi, detailing its wisdom, spiritual advice, and relevance to the modern Christian. Closely examining the text, Morgan explains the key elements of Malachi's prophecy, mentioning his belief early in his narrative that the value of Malachi's words are greater in the modern day than ever before. Justifying this claim, Morgan examines the time in which Malachi made his predictions, and demonstrates how these have been shown as correct in later literature and echoed in other prophecies. Traversing the scriptures with his signature fluency, Morgan conducts a verse-by-verse analysis of Malachi. Cross-referencing these with other passages of the Bible, in both the Old and New Testaments, the author passionately makes the case that Malachi is an underappreciated prophet whose words resonate throughout scripture and time.

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.

I finally figured it out. I know who Morgan reminds me of. It’s C.S. Lewis. To read Morgan is to watch a brilliant mind at play. His way with words is electrifying, and it wraps his insights in such a compelling way that it naturally lifts your own thoughts onto a higher plane.

Good

[Tom Brennan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Morgan's work, while not lengthy at 130 pages, is filled with solid insight and warm emotion. It is not a technical commentary, nor a verse by verse one. It is a thought commentary. By that I mean he takes the main thoughts of Malachi, examines them in context, and then applies them to the modern day.

This is the second of Morgan's books I have read. I shall eagerly look forward to the next one.

Good exposition of Malachi

I enjoyed the preaching from Campbell on the book of Malachi. Recommend the reading to others who are strong in their faith as well.
