Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

In this excellent and truly classic exegetical study, distinguished scholar E. W. Bullinger examines great heroes of the faith: Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and many others. Their shining examples show believers today how faith can be lived daily and purposefully.

Bullinger provides a trustworthy and encouraging read that will strengthen the minds and hearts of preachers and followers alike. Through these expositional and devotional lessons, Bullinger introduces fourteen practical elements of faith, including walk with God, worship, witness, obedience, and suffering. 

“I know of no other book on Hebrews 11 in the English language that contains more solid spiritual teaching and practical truth than this one. Far from being an ‘ivory tower’ commentary, this book touches life and makes living by faith an exciting and practical experience.”

—From the foreword by Warren W. Wiersbe

“An extensive expository treatment. . . . Preachers will find these studies helpful.”

—Cyril J. Barber, in The Minister’s Library

5.0 out of 5 stars The work of a Master Expositor, October 19, 2002

By

This review is from: Great Cloud of Witnesses in Hebrews Eleven (Paperback)

Great Cloud of Witnesses by E. W. Bullinger stands in a class by itself!

The author of this work is a master expositor who has taken the eleventh chapter of the book of Hebrews, and revealed it to the reader in such a manner that the reader is possessed with the desire to walk with God into same faith as Noah and Joseph; Rahab and David; those women who received again their loved ones from the grave, and those who were sawn assunder, scourged, mocked..."those of whom the world was not worthy".

This book is not easy reading! It must be digested carefully and with much prayer. It is not for the squeamish or the part-time Christian, because having read even a portion of it, you will be convicted, whether for good or ill, to re-assess your walk with God by FAITH.

The exposition on Hebrews 11:1 is worth the purchase of this book alone. Nevertheless, the LORD has been bountiful by allowing the author's continuing exposition of the people of God that we have become so familiar with.

They are revealed in their weaknesses made strong through faith; their fear subdued by faith, thier willingness to "obtain a better ressurrection" by faith.

Would that we all would desire to have and exhibit the kind of faith that would say of us, "Of whom the world [kosmos,mankind] was not worthy:"
Truthfully, would that we would have the stomachs for such a faith!

Buy the book and prepare for a greater intimacy with those who have gone on before us, and with God through the person of Jesus Christ His Son.

Bullinger's works are works anointed by God for the edification of His saints.

A couple of other works by Bullinger that I recommend are:
Number in Scripture and Word Studies on the Holy Spirit
