The printed ministry of A W Pink began in 1922 with a small-circulation magazine, Studies in the Scriptures. Having held a number of pastorates, A W Pink possessed a powerful grasp of pastoral writing. All his works reflect his deep understanding of the operation of Scripture and the hermeneutical science of the Puritans. His sympathetic handling of characters and events, and his ability to apply the spiritual ‘parallels’ of Old Testament history, yield more observations and applications per page than all other modern commentaries. He gleans not only from the Bible, but from the very best of the old divines.
After his death these studies were issued as books called ‘Gleanings’. These became popular both with preachers and devotional readers. They have been reprinted many times and continue to be of great value to preachers and other message-preparers. They also provide the very best personal devotional reading.
