This classic commentary on Daniel the Prophet by H. A. Ironside is still well-liked and widely-read today. Its enduring popularity nearly a hundred years later can only be explained by its straight-forward, clear and persuasive exposition of the author’s thought.

“History repeats itself in manifold ways,” writes Ironside in the introduction, “and he who is wise will not despise its instruction.” In The Four Hundred Silent Years, Ironside provides an easy-to-understand account of the period between the end of Malachi and the beginning of Matthew. In it, he provides not merely a chronological outline or a series of biological sketches, but traces the warnings of Ezra and Nehemiah, along with Josephus and other Jewish historians. He covers the end of the priestly rule, the days of the Maccabees, the end of the Asmonean Dynasty, and the Edomites. The final chapter is devoted to a brief commentary on the major writings of Jewish literature, including the Apocrypha. Ironside’s intention to draw practical lessons from the intertestamental period makes this the perfect book for anyone interested in an introduction to this important historical era and the implications for the modern church.

After the First World War, at a time when the “corruption of the human heart” was clearly evident, Ironside recognized a “need for some… exposition of the last prophetic book of the Bible which would take cognizance” of the prophetic import of the war’s atrocities. Published first in 1920 as Lectures on the Book of Revelation, this lucid account of John’s vision and its meaning will profit all believers wishing to better understand this mysterious and illuminating text. As the author states in the Introduction: Lectures on the Book of Revelation: “It is certainly cause for deep regret that to so many Christians the Book of Revelation seems to be what God never intended it should be—a sealed book…

The Works of H.A. Ironside contains 65 volumes of the most important sermons, commentaries, and writings from one of America’s most influential preachers—now including the complete set of Ironside commentaries! Inspired by Dwight Moody, Ironside comforted and challenged a generation of evangelicals during two world wars and an economic depression. He spoke to a lay audience, and made the Bible understandable and accessible to as many people as possible, earning himself the title, “the Archbishop of fundamentalism.” His preaching blurs the line between sermonizing and storytelling, and his commentaries are filled with examples and anecdotes that made sense to his readers, then and now.

Lewis Sperry Chafer remains one of the most beloved theologians of the early twentieth century, and this nine volume collection contains his views and expositions on a myriad of topics, such as dispensationalism, salvation, evangelism, grace, the kingdom of Christ, and elements of living a holy life. The founding president of Dallas Theological Seminary and editor of Bibliotheca Sacra, Chafer is considered to be one of the key founders of modern dispensationalism. Known for his faithful life and careful attention to biblical doctrine, Chafer's influence continues to this day. With over 1,500 pages of in-depth and theologically sound doctrine, this collection is vital for any student of dispensationalism or anyone wanting to learn from a trustworthy theologian of the twentieth century.

Proverbs: An Expository Commentary offers an insightful elucidation of Proverbs for those accustomed to reading the common-sense epigrams and aphorisms comprising the book. As Ironside says in the preface, “…it is just because its chapters abound in pithy truisms that the marrow is often lost sight of by those who have been accustomed to hearing of reading them all their lives.” The present work is an attempt to press home upon the heart and conscience, with a view to the increase of every-day godliness, this distinctively practical portion of the word of God.

Based on Mackintosh’s lecture on the first three chapters of Daniel, Discipleship in an Evil Day draws connections between Daniel’s experiences and the contemporary challenges faced by the church. The prophet Daniel and the modern church find themselves in similar situations: both are tempted to yield to surrounding influences, and both are called to submit to God. Most importantly, both the church and Daniel are called to model discipleship

“How much is wrapped up in these few words—God for us!” begins Mackintosh in his exposition of Romans 8. This short book, whose title is derived from the phrase “God for us,” found in Romans 8:31, identifies the constancy of God’s faithfulness and the numerous instances of it throughout the Bible. Ultimately, Mackintosh outlines a salvation which comes without qualifiers or compromises. Despite every reason why God should be against us, God is for us.

The C. H. Mackintosh Collection contains thirty-five volumes of the most important sermons, books, and commentaries from one of Ireland’s most famous preachers and prolific writers. Charles Herbert Mackintosh appealed to the pastoral and theological concerns of ordinary people, connecting the richness of Scripture to the events of daily life—all while never compromising good scholarship. His approach not only propelled the early expansion of the Plymouth Brethren movement and fueled a revival in Ireland, but also set the precedent for preaching and teaching in the decades that followed.

Why should we pray? How does God answer prayer? In Prayer and the Prayer Meeting, Mackintosh provides a thorough scriptural analysis of the key texts on prayer, including the ways in which Jesus prays, along with his instructions to the disciples to do the same. Mackintosh uses these texts to determine the basis and function of prayer, especially corporate prayer. He provides instruction for conducting public prayer and for cultivating an attitude and posture of prayer.

What is regeneration in Christ? How is it produced? What are its results? In this volume, Mackintosh aims to identify regeneration and its effects in the lives of believers. In the process, he counters the trend of judging the extent of regeneration from feeling or experience. Instead, says Mackintosh, the effects of regeneration must be judged in accordance with the word of God. Mackintosh also draws heavily from Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus, and Paul’s letter to the Romans to illustrate the process of rebirth and renewal.

n The Ministry of Christ: Past, Present, and Future, Mackintosh attempts to correct an imbalance of focus. Too often, he says, Christians focus on ministering for Christ without considering how Christ might minister to them. In doing so, the church unwittingly obscures the ways in which Christ himself ministers. Beginning with Jesus’ words “I come not to be served, but to serve,” Mackintosh’s account links together the concept of glory with Jesus’ life of humiliation, and links Jesus’ washing of feet with his life-changing resurrection.

Many prominent numbers from the Bible—such as 666, 7, 12, 40—have entered the broader cultural consciousness. But what do they mean? And what does the Bible really say about them? In the 7-volume Numerical Bible, Frederick W. Grant surveys the structure and symbolism of Scripture, showing that the Bible is not comprised of piecemeal literary fragments and forgeries, but that its structure and symbolism reflects the careful intentions of divine inspiration.

Faith in God transcends unsettled questions, conflicts, and doubts—it serves as the antidote to errors, evils, and hostilities. Unfortunately, for many, faith takes a lifeless, stagnant form. In The Living God and a Living Faith, Mackintosh implores his readers to recover a living faith by following the example of Jehoshaphat. In the face of impending destruction and complete annihilation, Jehoshaphat’s faith in God saved Israel and transformed the kingdom. His unequivocal faith in God serves as a model for us to follow.

Esther: An Expository Commentary is an insightful guide to the book of Esther. This masterful work was the first commentary Ironside had ever published, its “unpretentious pages” reaching the printers when he was only 23. Written in the hope that God would “richly bless your effort to bring to the surface what His Spirit has laid up for us in the little book,” Ironside’s commentary thoroughly examines each chapter of Esther, bringing God’s actions and His call to obedience to the fore. As Ironside states in his preface, “The book of Esther contains principles of great value at all times, but especially at the present one, when some who delve very little into the word of God are liable to wonder at some of His ways, and grow discouraged in the path of obedience.

Can a believer ever be lost? Do those who rescind their belief in Christ compromise their eternal salvation? In Final Perseverance: What Is It?, Mackintosh examines the words of Christ and the text of Scripture to articulate a doctrine of the perseverance of the saints. In the same way that works cannot save sinners, neither can works compromise salvation. Any other view, says Mackintosh, undermines the magnitude of Christ’s death and resurrection.

This commentary, published first in 1913 under the title Notes on the book of Nehemiah, draws from the book of Nehemiah a treasure trough of edifying notes and explanations, relevant for all believers regardless of era. Known best for his world-wide preaching ministry, H.A. Ironside’s commentaries on every book of the New Testament and of the Old Testament Prophets are considered by Tim LaHaye and Michael D. Stallard to be, “some of the warmest and most cherished devotional commentaries in the history of dispensationalism.”

Jehoshaphat represents a lone follower of God amid a succession of evil kings. Normally, his name is buried in a chronology of idolatry, wickedness, and the outright desecration of God’s holiness. But Jehoshaphat chooses a different path. He serves as an example of godly living in a corrupt society. According to Mackintosh in Jehoshaphat: A Word on World-Bordering, Jehoshaphat is noteworthy not only for his remarkable reign, but because he serves as a metaphor for the church’s place in the modern world. In this way, his exposition of Jehoshaphat’s life extends from biographical tale to timely spiritual instruction.

The minor prophets are short and their message is often swift. But they must not be overlooked, says Ironside, for they convey an important history between God and the people of Israel, Judah, and the surrounding nations. More importantly, they reveal the character of God. Through the minor prophets, we see God revealed through both harsh words and soothing language, in both justice and mercy, and through plagues, oracles, and miracles. In this volume, Ironside’s chapter-by-chapter commentary brings to the fore the most important themes from the minor prophets.

Ironside shows that in the book of Acts, God has provided a pattern for Christian testimony, missionary effort, world evangelism, and building Christian churches—a pattern we would do well to follow. From a literary standpoint, Acts seems unfinished—the story ends without a conclusion—perhaps to illustrate the continuing work of the apostles in our own time. Ironside’s commentary on Acts makes their work begun at Pentecost more visible in the present.

As the letters of the alphabet are the basis of any written communication, so Christ is the “alphabet” of the spiritual realm. Dr. Rolls explores the innumerable names and titles of Jesus Christ, revealing countless facets and attributes of His character that thrill the heart and bring to every Christian new wonder and love for our Lord Jesus Christ.

In this volume of nearly seventy addresses on the Gospel of John, Ironside compares the four Gospels to one another and shows how each communicates an important facet of the Gospel message. John, however, uniquely communicates the deity of Christ. From the beginning, through the discourses, to the end of the Gospel, John presents Jesus as the Eternal Word made flesh for the redemption of the world. This commentary on the Gospel of John reinforces Jesus’ deity not only in the stories and the discourses in the book itself, but in the joys and struggles of contemporary culture. Ironside pays as much attention to the text as he does the pastoral implications for today.

The Gospel of Matthew is pre-eminently a Jewish Gospel, written to address Jewish concerns and customs, and to recount the story of Jesus from a Jewish perspective. In his chapter-by-chapter analysis of the book, Ironside shows that readers of Matthew must bear in mind the dominant metaphors of kingdom in order to understand the life of Christ from a Jewish perspective, and to understand the Gospel in our own era.

The Book of the Revelation contains outlined studies of the last book of the Bible. In his introduction, Strauss says, “Genesis is the book of commencement; Revelation is the book of consummation.”

What is meant by the “Great Tribulation”? Will the church endure the tribulation? Is the rapture a tenable belief? Ironside contrasts the judgment of God with salvation to determine to the basis for the events of the future. He also introduces biblical prophecy and connects it to historical events, and also offers an exhaustive biblical survey of the Great Tribulation. Most importantly, Ironside explains that the Great Tribulation differs from God’s wrath or fury. Ultimately, God’s judgment and wrath—and the events of the tribulation—are overcome by salvation and love. He explains that the End Times should not lead to fear, but inspire hope.

Romans is perhaps the most influential and most widely-read book of the New Testament. It is international, forward-thinking, philosophical, and theologically rich. Ironside’s eleven lectures amount to nearly 200 pages of commentary on the entire epistle. He begins with a lengthy excursus on the central themes of Romans, before working chapter-by-chapter through the entirety of the book. The final two lectures emphasize the practical application of Romans for today.
