The volume here reprinted provides one of the most readable and popular summaries of the leading preachers of Scotland from the time of the Celtic Church to the 1880s when Blaikie wrote. It covers the lives and power of the preachers in the context of their times, but the author's intention is more than historical narrative. Welcoming the first appearance of Blaikie's work in 1888, C.H. Spurgeon wrote: 'A valuable volume. The lectures before us are an able tribute to those who in Scottish pulpits served, not Scotland only, but all our Lord s kingdom on earth...The history of the Scottish pulpit has many lessons for modern preachers. Professor Blaikie wisely points them out. Perhaps none is more clear than this: that the gospel of Jesus Christ best supplies the needs of every age. No other remedy for social wrongs and disorders is so effective. There need be no fear of failure in the pulpit so long as the gospel is faithfully preached; but ministers who think that they must ever be telling some new tiding may here see that nothing is so attractive as the old, old story of Jesus and his love.'

To show, moreover, that he is not returning as a beggar, and that there is no risk of his laying claim to anything that was Esau's, or that Esau might look for from their father, he informs him that he has ample possessions, oxen and asses, flocks, and men-servants and women-servants, and that the sole object of the message which he now sends is to bespeak a friendly reception. To this humble message Esau deigns no reply, and the mood he is in may be inferred from his setting out to meet Jacob with four hundred men. If anything could mean war, surely it is this. No wonder that Jacob was "greatly afraid and distressed." ' Notwithstanding, his self-possession did not forsake him. Deliberately considering the situation, he set about the best means of protection he could devise, dividing his company into two sections, so that if Esau were to come and massacre the foremost of them, the other might have some chance of escape. Then recognizing God in a way, but not (as we shall see) so fully as he ought to have recognized him, he implores the divine protection on himself and his company, reminds God of his command to him to return to Canaan, gratefully acknowledges the goodness and mercy that had followed him since he crossed the Jordan, with his staff as his only property, owns his terror of Esau, and rehearses the promise that his seed would be as the sand of the sea. This shows the reality of Jacob's piety; but there was a reserve in his mind, as if he did not feel an absolute dependence on God, or cherish an absolute assuranc...

"Few writers have bequeathed to posterity such a legacy of devout exposition and reverent scholarship as William Garden Blaikie. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, when Sir William Robertson Nicoll began work on The Expositor's Bible, he wisely invited Dr. Blaikie to contribute commentaries on the Book of Joshua and the Books of First and Second Samuel. Blaikie's studies of these portions of the Old Testament rank among the finest ever produced." - Cyril J. Barber

"For a succinct, wise, all-round volume on homiletical and pastoral theology, a theological student or minister could not do better than read Blaikie's For the Work of the Ministry. Even the appendices are packed with wisdom! This reprint is long overdue." - Joel R. Beeke, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary "My personal favorite book for pastors is William Blaikie's For the Work of the Ministry. How I rejoice that this outstanding manual of homiletics and pastoral theology is finally being reprinted! Blaikie offers a brilliant overview of everything from the nature of and call to the ministry to Supplementary Hints on subjects like visitation of the sick, home mission work, and evangelistic movements. His advice on everything from pastoral care of the young to fulfilling pastoral engagements and meetings is full of mature wisdom which is as applicable today as it was over a century ago." - William Shishko, Pastor, Franklin Square, NY
