There are two linked indexes in this volume, a main index at the front of this volume that will take you to the beginning each of the books of the bible and another index at the beginning of each book there is a linked scripture index leading to the particular subject.
This is the complete and unabridged Poor Man’s Commentary on the whole Bible in one volume. The commentary treats each of the chapters of the book of the Bible in turn, with a chapter-by-chapter commentary summary. The Poor Man’s Commentary is an essential part of any pastor's library. Charles Spurgeon exhorted his students, “Gentlemen, if you want something full of marrow and fatness, cheering to your own hearts by way of comment, and likely to help you in giving to your hearers rich expositions, buy Dr. Hawker’s Poor Man’s Commentary . . . he sees Jesus, and that is a sacred gift which is most precious.” Delve into the exegetical and devotional writings of one of the most influential preachers and theologians of eighteenth and nineteenth-century England. His thoroughly Christ-centered view of scripture comes through clearly in his extensive nine volume commentary on the whole Bible. According to Joel R. Beeke of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, “Hawker increased in fame and popularity as a powerful ‘high Calvinist’ preacher” and “was remarkably winsome in preaching Christ to all.” Hawker brings his homiletic skills to the reading of scripture in this rich commentary.
