This exhaustive
commentary (also known as the "JFB Commentary" taken from the last
names of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown) contains over 3,000 pages of
information, and covers nearly every verse in every book of the Bible.
Originally published in 1871, Commentary Critical and Explanatory on
the Whole Bible has earned a reputation that lasts to this day as being
one of the best, most sought after and most highly regarded Bible
Commentaries available anywhere.
All three of the authors of this Bible commentary were conservative in
their theology, and, from first-hand pastoral experience, were familiar
with the needs of the everyday believer. All served as pastors in
England as well, and this practical ministry experience, combined with
their extensive knowledge of the Bible and sound theological
scholarship, is reflected in the easy-to-understand, down-to-earth, and
spiritually challenging insights of the Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
Commentary.
Many of you may be familiar with Charles H. Spurgeon, the famous
English expositor of Scripture and arguably the most famous preacher of
the 19th century. Charles Spurgeon is quoted as saying of this
commentary, "Of this commentary I have a very high opinion. It is the
joint work of Dr. Jamieson, A. R. Fausset, and Dr. David Brown. It is
to some extent a compilation and condensation of other men's thoughts,
but it is sufficiently original to claim a place in every minister's
library: indeed it contains so great a variety of information that if a
man had no other exposition he would find himself at no great loss if
he possessed this and used it diligently."
If the JFB Commentary was good enough for Charles H. Spurgeon, it's good enough for the rest of us!
Many scripture scholars who own the best of the best in current Bible
commentaries of the New and Old Testaments still find themselves
reaching for 'Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible'
time after time. This is due to not only the detail presented, but the
heart with which it is presented. It is packed full of historical
information as well as Greek/ Hebrew definitions and is excellent in
all of the other additional information it provides. Despite it's age,
it is a MUST have for ministers or ANYONE serious about God's Word. It
will always be a timeless classic for all those who are seeking to
enrich their lives with not only the intellectual information of God's
Word, but also assisting in understanding HIM better and drawing them
closer to HIM (that's really what it's all about anyway).
This Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible was
authored nearly 150 years ago, yet like so few of its numerous peers,
the JFB still remains as the preeminent work of its kind. Today's
"modern" commentaries pale by comparison and will quickly fade into
obscurity. If anything, it seems as though deep understanding of the
Scriptures has given way to superficial milk-spew. The JFB remains the
bedrock standard of Scriptural explanation. Concise, lucid, and without
apology to denomination or creed, Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown have
done more for the honest Bible student than nearly any other expounder
before or since. To say we highly recommend the JFB couldn't be more of
an understatement.
Not sure what an "Ebook" is?
The
term 'Ebook' simply means "electronic book", meant for viewing on your
computer. Ebooks usually come in Adobe PDF format, as the one being
offered in this auction does. 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 www.adobe.com.
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.
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
nearly 3100 pages into any other computer application/program. Try
doing that with a printed book! 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)

CD ebook version of The Apostolic Fathers, Volumes 1 AND 2 by Kirsopp
Lake, in PDF format. This timeless Christian classic contains over 830
pages. Shipping is FREE! Even to the U.K. and Canada. We welcome bids from outside the U.S.A!How
did the New Testament come to be formed? What books were left out? What
did some of those books say? These are some of the questions on the
minds of many curious people. Too often, local congregations ignore
these questions, often to the detriment of the church...however, these
questions about Christian origins are still very real in the hearts and
minds of many people today.
From one of the most significant writers about Christian origins comes
the original editions of the 'Apostolic Fathers', who were among the
first disciples of the original 12 apostles. These were early Christian
writings that are attributed to church leaders of the late first and
early second centuries. Clement, for example, was an early leader in
Rome (circa 96 CE); Ignatius wrote a number of letters to churches in
various cities (circa 110 CE), loosely following in the footsteps of
Paul.
This two-volume set is the classic edition of the Apostolic Fathers in
the Loeb Classical Library edited by Kirsopp Lake nearly a century ago.
As with all books in the Loeb Classical Library, the original (in this
case, Greek) text is presented on the left-hand pages, and an English
translation is presented on the right. The text is extremely readable,
and the introductions to each of the books are clear, succinct, and to
the point.
Here are the contents of both Volumes contained on one CD disk:
V O L U M E - I
The 1st Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians
The 2nd Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians
The Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians
The Epistle of Ignatius to the Magnesians
The Epistle of Ignatius to the Trallians
The Epistle of Ignatius to the Romans
The Epistle of Ignatius to the Philadelphians
The Epistle of Ignatius to the Smyrnaeans
The Epistle of Ignatius to Polycarp
The Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians
The Didache, or Teachings of the 12 Apostles
The Epistle of Barnabas
V O L U M E - I I
The Shepherd of Hermas
The Martyrdom of Polycarp
The Epistle of to Diognetus
Some of these books almost made it into the New Testament! The epistles
of Clement are found in some early New Testament manuscripts and were
widely read in the early churches. The Shepherd of Hermas may have been
the most widely read book by early Christians. Several of these books
were probably written before some of books in the New Testament. In an
age in which people are asking questions about the origins of
Christianity and the authority of the scriptures, it is crucial that we
have at least a basic understanding of our early history.

Matthew
Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible is an EXHAUSTIVE study tool, used
by countless scholars and laymen for well over 100 years. This
commentary covers every chapter and nearly every verse in the Bible,
providing a thorough commentary on the Holy Scriptures.
Ever since it was finished, this reference has been an invaluable tool
to theology students everywhere. If you're scouring scripture, or just
casually studying, you will find this commentary very insightful.
Here's a little history on Matthew Henry, including some tidbits of information maybe you didn't know!
Matthew Henry was born near Wales on October 18, 1662.
Henry was primarily home-educated by his father, Rev. Philip Henry, and
also at the Thomas Doolittle academy from 1680-1682. Henry first
started studying law in 1686, but instead of pursuing a career in law
he began to preach in his neighborhood.
After the declaration of liberty of conscience by James II in 1687, he
was privately ordained in London, and on June 2, 1687, he began his
regular ministry as non-conformist pastor of a Presbyterian
congregation at Chester. He remained in this position for 25 years.
After declining several times offers from London congregations, he
finally accepted a call to Hackney, London, and began his ministry
there May 18, 1712, shortly before his death.
Henry's reputation rests upon his renowned 6 volume commentary, An
Exposition of the Old and New Testaments (1708-10, known also as
Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible). He lived to complete it
only as far as to the end of the Acts, but after his death other
like-minded authors prepared the remainder from Henry's manuscripts.
This work was long celebrated as the best English commentary for
devotional purposes and the expanded edition was initially published in
1896. Instead of critical exposition, Henry focuses on practical
suggestion, and his commentaries contain rich stores of truths. There
is also a smaller devotional commentary on the Bible from Henry known
as Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary. (Also included on the CD!)
Spurgeon used Henry’s commentary and commended it heartily, saying:
"Every minister ought to read it entirely and carefully through once at
least."
Matthew Henry died in Cheshire due to a stroke, on June 22, 1714.
Here is what you receive on the CD:
Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible:
Volume 1 – Genesis through Deuteronomy - 1,322 pages
Volume 2 – Joshua though Esther - 1701 pages
Volume 3 – Job through Song of Solomon - 1678 pages

A condensed version of the larger work: 1535 pages
