Lectures, Expository and Practical, on Select Portions of Scripture

Lectures, Expository And Practical, On Select Portions Of Scripture by Andrew Thomson presents a series of devotional lectures on canonical passages, emphasizing practical Christian living. The volume surveys key biblical sections, particularly the Sermon on the Mount, and discusses how Christ’s teachings aim to reform both heart and society rather than merely impart abstract knowledge. Thomson explains the divine purposes behind vivid figurative language such as salt of the earth, light of the world, and a city set on a hill, urging believers to influence the world through holiness, benevolence, and active duty. The lectures address repentance, faith, prayer, and the balance between worldly concerns and spiritual priorities, as well as the nature of true religion and the dangers of hypocrisy. It also engages with Christ’s roles as Prophet, Priest, and King, and explores resurrection and judgment, urging readers to embrace the Gospel’s salvific and ethical obligations.
