Spurgeon said of this classic Puritan
commentary: "A TREASURE-HOUSE OF GOOD
THINGS."
Thomas Manton first gave up the idea of
printing his work on Jude when he read
this masterpiece by William Jenkyn, but
later changed his mind when urged by
friends. Yet he tell us, "I consulted
with my reverend brother's book, and
when I found at any point at large
discussed by him, I either omitted it
or mentioned it very briefly; so that
his labours will be necessary to supply
the weakness of mine."
Cyril Barber said, "William Jenkyn was
a diligent student of the Word, an able
expositor, and known throughout England
for his piety. We welcome the
republication of this outstanding
commentary. It is a tribute to the
foresight of the publishers that they
are making it available to a new
generation of Bible students and
teachers."
Joel Beeke has added, "Jenkyn's
Exposition of the Epistle of Jude
remains unsurpassed today. It
powerfully exhibits Jenkyn's piety and
learning."
Malcolm Watts said, "The Exposition
upon Jude by Jenkyn is beyond praise.
In my opinion it ranks as one of the
best in the old Nichols series."
Rev. James Sherman, editor of the 1863
edition, wrote the following: "The
following Exposition is the most
considerable of Jenkyn's works, and
exhibits his piety, diligence and
learning. It was delivered at Christ
Church, Newgate Street, in the ordinary
course of his ministry, and met with
great acceptance; two editions having
been published during the life of the
author, both of which have been
carefully collated for the present
publication. The editor believes that,
from the great pains taken to render
the work perfect, few errors have
escaped detection. He now commits it to
the favor of God, who, judging from the
testimonies received from many
ministers, has crowned the Exposition
previously published with a large share
of his blessing."
