Bible Note: Dear Brother WOS - As a Christian, I stand in rapt admiration of C. S. Spurgeons's sound theology. As a lifetime student of English, I stand amazed at his rare ability to paint in words with pen and ink as masterfully as Michalengelo painted in images with brush and oils. He is always fresh, clear, insightful and inspiring. I particularly am fond of his "King's highway" quotation. Thanks for including it in your post. It makes for an excellent illumination of your your thesis. ..... I don't mean to overlook John Gill! He's a fine old saint too, with sound and instructive exegeses, but lacks some of the sheen of Spurgeon. Still and all, if among preachers Charles Spurgeon is the prince, John Gill is by no means the pauper! I'd gratefully settle for a tithe of the Bible knowledge John Gill had. --Hank |
