J. A. Alexander (1809-1860) is known mostly for his academic career at Princeton Theological Seminary and for his commentaries. This collection of sermons shows Alexander to be a wonderfully pastorally-minded scholar. Twenty-two of his sermons are published here for the first time in more than a century, all based on sound, reverential exegesis of the biblical text.

Author  J.A. Alexander (1909-1860) was a linguist, educator, and author. Born in Philadelphia, he received most of his early education from his minister father, Archibald, and quickly revealed remarkable linguistic gifts.

Endorsements  "In the death of Joseph Addison Alexander we have lost our great glory and defense. Permit me to express my own individual convictions. I regard Dr. Joseph Addison Alexander as incomparably the greatest man I ever knew--as incomparably the greatest man our church has ever produced. His thorough orthodoxy, his fervent piety, humility, faithfulness in the discharge of his duties, and reverence for the Word of God, consecrated all his other gifts. He glorified the Word of God in the sight of his pupils beyond what any man I ever saw had the power of doing." - Charles Hodge
