John Eadie's Commentaries (6-Volume Set)

John Eadie was an eminent biblical scholar, a master of the Greek text of the New Testament, and an influential Presbyterian minister. During his lifetime, he wrote five New Testament commentaries, which have become standard works on Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and 1 &2 Thessalonians. Each commentary contains detailed investigations of the text, grammar, and linguistic features of the Greek text. He also provides thorough exegesis and contextual information for each epistle, and demonstrates both Pauline authorship and the coherence of each book.

Praise for the Print Edition

On the whole, we have no hesitation in saying that, for full criticism and interpretation, as a repository of the view of nearly all critical interpreters, ancient and modern, on the text of this precious epistle, as well as for sound judgment of his own, for felicitous amplification, evangelic expression, and devout illustration of the sense thus patiently ascertained, this is, for critical students, the best commentary on the Colossians in our language.

—British and Foreign Evangelical Review

His commentaries on the Greek text of many of Paul's epistles have established themselves as classics. Eadie's balanced blend of scholarship and devotion make this a very profitable set for New Testament scholars and students alike.

—F. D. Lindsey, Bibliotheca Sacra

The exegesis is useful for sermon-building or simply feasting on its riches. It should be in every pastor's library.

—Grace Theological Journal

Eadie is well known for his commentaries that resulted from his remarkable preaching ministry.
