English Translation: The biblical writings of Robert McCheyne, together with his letters and other writings, were compiled for A. Bonar the year of his death. They were released for the first time in 1884, and the eagerness with which the English-speaking people read it and received the work was truly sensational; the true test of this has been that twenty-five years after it was released, there have already been more than 116 editions printed. Especially in Scotland, the writings of McCheyne became, after the Bible, the most read book in the second half of the nineteenth century.
