Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847) was considered by many the greatest Scots preacher of his day. From October 1841 - May 1847 Chalmers compiled these Sabbath Readings as he systematically worked through every chapter in the New Testament and Genesis 1 - 2 Kings 11. Like Augustine's Confessions , these meditations are primarily written in the form and language of prayer. Here is Chalmers at his very best! They are precious fragments of immortal thought. - Charles H. Spurgeon
