Sketches Of Scripture Characters by Andrew Thomson is a devotional collection that presents brief biographical studies of biblical figures, blending narrative retellings with moral and theological reflections. Drawing on both Old and New Testament scenes, Thomson offers portraits such as the Hebrew Maiden, Naaman the Syrian, Gehazi, Nehemiah, Absalom, Simeon, John the Baptist, the Daughter of Herodias, The Woman with the Alabaster Box, Pontius Pilate, Simon the Cyrenian, Dorcas, and Mary, the mother of John Mark. Each sketch combines careful exegesis with exhortation, highlighting themes of providence, faith under trial, repentance, humility, charity, and the leadership of faithful individuals in the formation of God’s people. The author emphasizes moral agency across social stations—from captive maids to rulers—and the power of righteous example to influence others and to reveal divine sovereignty. Written in a sermon-like, nineteenth-century idiom, the volume aims to instruct, comfort, and challenge readers to imitate Christ and to apply biblical lessons to daily life.
