About the author

Born in Glasgow on February 11, 1826, Alexander Maclaren became a Scottish Baptist minister and writer whose influence reached far beyond his own congregation. He studied for the ministry at Stepney College in London and began preaching while still very young.

Maclaren is best known for his long pastorate at Union Chapel in Manchester, where he served for many years and built a reputation as a gifted expository preacher. He also served as president of the Baptist Union, and his sermons and biblical commentaries were widely published.

He died on May 5, 1910. Readers still return to his work for its thoughtful, devotional style and its steady focus on explaining Scripture clearly and practically.
