Interpreting the Bible is not an exercise in discovering what has never been seen, heard or perceived before. It is about coming faithfully to the truth that is God’s word to each and every generation.

The wisdom we received from preachers, scholars and godly men of old are as needed and as relevant today as they have always been. We need to know what it is that God says to us so that we might respond lovingly in obedience.

We ignore what our predecessors learned at our peril. In this twenty-first century there is an ever greater attack on the Church, the Christian and, indeed, Christ. So we are not exaggerating when we say that we must see an understanding of Scripture as being imperative in our lives.

This particular volume brings you the expository thoughts of the Prince of Preachers, Charles Haddon Spurgeon.

It was Spurgeon’s custom to read a passage fo Scripture during the worship service at the Metropolitan Tabernacle. He would punctuate this reading with his thoughts and observations on the text he was reading.

This book is the result of these readings and expositions. On the one hand it is not a commentary for the comments were never published in that way. But when we take them all together, as a whole, we can see the overall picture that Spurgeon communicated.

This is a mine of valuable help on God’s word.

Use it devotionally as you read Scripture each day.

Use it educationally as you study Scripture.

Use it in preparation as you would share from God’s word in preaching, leading or in counselling.

Spurgeon’s thoughts are not infallible but they are of so high a standard that we benefit from them now, over one hundred years since his death.

It is our prayer that you would be blessed by what Spurgeon teaches but, even more so, blessed as you read the word of God - a gift, a necessity, our nourishment.

This volume is Spurgeon's commentary on Paul's Letter to the Ephesians
