Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847) was considered by many the greatest Scots preacher of his day. This volume contains over 430 pages of personal musings upon every chapter in the New Testament. From October 1841 to September 1846 Chalmers compiled these Sabbath Readings as he systematically worked through every chapter in the New Testament. Like Augustine's Confessions, these meditations are primarily written in the form and language of prayer. Here is Chalmers at his very best!Thomas Carlyle said of Chalmers: 'It is not often that the world has seen men like Thomas Chalmers, nor can the world afford to forget them; or in its most careless mood, be willing to. Probably the time is coming when it will be more apparent than it is now to everyone, that here, intrinsically, was the chief Scottish man of his time---a man possessed of such massive geniality of intellect as belonged to no other man. What a grand simplicity, broad humour, blent so kindly with enthusiasm, ardour and blazing thought---a man of such noble valour, strength and piety---above all things, of such perfect veracity, I have not met with in these times. Honour to him, honour belongs to him, and to the essential work he did---an everlasting continuance among the possessions of this world.'
