The Four-Fold Gospel

The Four-Fold Gospel

by John William McGarvey

John William McGarvey (1829–1911) was an American minister and educator of the Restoration Movement, teaching at the College of the Bible in Lexington, Kentucky, for forty-six years and serving as its president from 1895. A firm opponent of theological liberalism and higher criticism, he wrote commentaries valued for their defence of the Bible's historical reliability. Our library holds his Commentary on Acts of the Apostles and The Four-Fold Gospel.
