Expository Discourses on the Book of Genesis

Weighty, judicious, and full of Gospel truth. One of the very best series of discourses extant on Genesis. -C.H. Spurgeon Andrew Fuller (1754-1815) was an outstanding figure with qualities that make him one of the most attractive figures in Baptist history. Many in his day could echo the words of his very close friend William Carey, ‘I loved him.’ As a pastor, part of the way that Fuller gave legs to his conviction about Scripture was to follow the expository preaching method of men like John Calvin (1509-1564) or the English Puritans and preach through Bible books consecutively verse by verse, chapter by chapter. He thus laid before his people ‘the whole counsel of God’ (Acts 20:27). Although he covered a significant amount of Scripture this way in his Kettering pulpit, only two of those expository series eventually found their way into print: one on Revelation, published in the final year of his life, and this one on Genesis, from 1806. It has long been out of print as an independent volume, though it has been available through various editions of Fuller’s complete works. It is good to see it back in print, for as Charles H. Spurgeon once remarked about this very book: it is ‘weighty, judicious, and full of Gospel truth. One of the very best series of discourses extant upon Genesis.’ - Michael Haykin
