by A.W. Pink

Another quality eBook from Chapel Library (with active Table of Contents and footnotes).
Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) wrote and published his monthly 28 page expository digest, Studies in the Scriptures, from 1922 to 1953. He mailed it worldwide by paid subscription to whomever desired the deeper truths of God. Each issue contained continuing serialized articles on six to eight subjects. When one subject was “completed” to the author’s satisfaction, another subject series began in its place in the next issue. In total, the 380 issues comprise a treasure of immense proportions.
The Annual Volume 1948 contains the January through December issues of the Studies in the Scriptures from that year. It includes the middle portions of three series: Prayers of the Apostles, The Life and Times of Joshua, and the conclusion of the series Doctrine of Revelation. Chapel Library is republishing the monthly issues in eBooks as annual volumes, in print, and in PDF at our website, www.ChapelLibrary.orgwww.ChapelLibrary.org.
Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) was born in Nottingham England, and born again of the Spirit of God at the age of 22. He briefly studied at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, USA, before his pastoral work among independent churches in Colorado, California, Kentucky, and South Carolina. He taught in Sydney, Australia, before returning to his native England in 1934. He took permanent residence in Lewis, Scotland, in 1940, remaining there 12 years until his death. Most of his works first appeared as articles in the Studies in the Scriptures, published every month without interruption from 1922 to 1953 (and currently republished serially by Chapel Library). Familiar with the whole range of revelation, Mr. Pink was rarely sidetracked from the great themes of Scripture: grace, justification, and sanctification.

A.W. Pink (1886 - 1952)

Studied at Moodly Bible Institute and pastored some churches in America. He was not very accepted in his congregations which finally made him move back to England to be involved in writing ministry full-time till his death.

He was strictly calvinist in this thinking but many of his writings also reflect balance and openness to other views of doctrine. Especially his teachings on antichrist and end-times were promoted well during his life. He wrote over 40 books and many pamphlets including he distributed titled: "Studies in the Scriptures."

Arthur Walkington Pink was a Christian evangelist and Biblical scholar known for his staunchly Calvinist and Puritan-like teachings.

Pink was born in Nottingham, England on April 1, 1886 and became a Christian in 1908, at the age of 22. Though born to Christian parents, prior to conversion he migrated into a Theosophical society (an occult gnostic group popular in England during that time), and quickly rose in prominence within their ranks. His conversion came from his father's patient admonitions from Scripture. It was the verse, Proverbs 14:12, 'there is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death,' which particularly struck his heart and compelled him to renounce Theosophy and follow Jesus.

Desiring to grow in knowledge of the Bible, Pink immigrated to the United States to study at Moody Bible Institute. In 1916 he married Vera E. Russell (January 8, 1893 - July 17, 1962), who was from Kentucky. However, he left after just two months for Colorado, then California, then Britain. From 1925 to 1928 he served in Australia, including as pastor of two congregations from 1926 to 1928, when he returned to England, and to the United States the following year. He eventually pastored churches in Colorado, California, Kentucky, and South Carolina.

Converted in 1908 at the age of 22, Arthur Pink left England in 1910 to Study and Moody Bible Institue in Chicago, Illinois. He left after two months and pastored a church in Silverton, Colorado. He had short term pastorates in California, Kentuck and South Carolina.

His first major work, Divine Inspiration Of The Bible, was published in 1917, followed by The Sovereignty Of God, in 1918 which sold less than 2000 copies. He edited the magazine, Studies In The Scriptures, from 1922-1923, in which much of his published works appeared, but circulation was poor, never more than 1000 subscribers.

He spent three years preaching in Australia and returned to England in 1928 for a year. Returning to the United States he spent eight years in itinerant ministry. He returned to England for the last years of his life, living an isolated life.

Pink is famous for his writings, which had the most effect after his death, but his personal ministry as a pastor was largely a failure.
