This classic commentary on the Book of Jonah by Hugh Martin (1822-1885) deserves to be widely read. Though long, it is full of warmth, practical application and evangelical reasoning. A great deal of attention is given to the opening verses and Martin’s sympathetic handling of Jonah enables him to draw many lessons for ordinary Christians. Here is material to provoke love for the lost, explain God’s dealings with His wayward servants, demonstrate the way back to the path of usefulness, and expose the frailties of even the most used servants of God.By making extensive use of the New Testament references to the book, he leads us to the ‘greater than Jonas’ and all readers will be moved by these sections of the book. Preachers, especially will find a wealth of material for use in preparing messages.Originally published in Martin’s retirement in 1866, this edition has been completely re-typeset for issue as an eBook.
