A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

No name in the history of Methodism, after John Wesley s, is more widely and honorably known than that of ADAM CLARKE. His Commentary on the Bible has been more generally circulated, both in the British Islands and in A merica, within the last thirty years, than any other exposition of the sacred writings. The Biblical culture of many a Methodist minister is due chiefly to that great work. And although it is now to some extent behind the present state of science, especially in the geography and topography of the Holy Land, its multifarious learning, and its excellent practical observations and reflections make it of great value, and keep it in circulation. But those who know A dam Clarke only from his Commentary know little of the man. His mental characteristics, it is true, are broadly stamped on that vast work: his simplicity, industry, self-reliance, boldness, even credulity, are obvious enough to the careful reader of the Commentary. But the nobleness of his nature, his thorough devotion to the cause of God, his spirit of self-sacrifice, his unfaltering loyalty to Methodism these traits are chiefly displayed in other fields of his activity. To exhibit and illustrate them is the task of his biographer. A copious life of Dr. Clarke, by his son, including a curious and characteristic autobiography, appeared in London in 1834, (3 vols. 8vo,) and was afterward republished in this country. But it never supplied the wants of the general public as a life of Dr. Clarke.
