Expositions of Holy Scripture: Isaiah and Jeremiah

About this book

One volume of Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture, gathering his expository sermons on Isaiah and Jeremiah. MacLaren spent his long ministry in Manchester, and these sermons show his gift for taking a passage apart, explaining it in order, and pressing it home to conscience and conduct. They remain valued helps for preachers and for any reader working steadily through this part of Scripture.
