Gleanings in Exodus
▶ DESCRIPTION
Historically, the book of Exodus treats of the deliverance of Israel from Egypt; but viewed doctrinally, it deals with redemption. Just as the first book of the Bible teaches that God elects unto salvation, so the second instructs us how God saves, namely, by redemption. Redemption, then, is the dominant subject of Exodus. Following this, we are shown what we are redeemed for—worship, and this characterizes Leviticus, where we learn of the holy requirements of God and the gracious provisions He has made to meet these. In Numbers we have the walk and warfare of the wilderness, where we have a typical representation of our experiences as we pass through this scene of sin and trial—our repeated and excuseless failures, and God’s long-sufferance and faithfulness. And so we might continue.

▶ AUTHOR
Arthur W. Pink was born in Nottingham England in 1886, and born again of the Spirit of God in 1908 at the age of 22. He studied at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, USA, for only six weeks before beginning his pastoral work in Colorado. From there he pastored churches in California, Kentucky, and South Carolina, before moving to Sydney Australia for a brief period, preaching and teaching. In 1934, at 48 years old, he returned to his native England. He took permanent residence in Lewis, Scotland, in 1940, remaining there 12 years until his death at age 66 in 1952.

About the author
Arthur W. Pink
657 books304 followersArthur Walkington Pink was born in Nottingham, England on April 1, 1886 and became a Christian in his early 20s. Though born to Christian parents, prior to conversion he migrated into a Theosophical society (an occult gnostic group popular in England during that time), and quickly rose in prominence within their ranks. His conversion came from his father's patient admonitions from Scripture. It was Proverbs 14:12, 'there is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death,' which particularly struck his heart and compelled him to renounce Theosophy and follow Jesus.
Desiring to grow in knowledge of the Bible, Pink migrated to the United States to study at Moody Bible Institute. In 1916 he married Vera E. Russell, from Kentucky. However, he left after just two months for Colorado, then California, then Britain. From 1925 to 1928 he served in Australia, including as pastor of two congregations from 1926 to 1928, when he returned to England, and to the United States the following year. He eventually pastored churches Colorado, California, Kentucky and South Carolina.
In 1922 he started a monthly magazine entitled Studies in Scriptures which circulated among English-speaking Christians worldwide, though only to a relatively small circulation list of around 1,000.
In 1934 Pink returned to England, and within a few years turned his Christian service to writing books and pamphlets. Pink died in Stornoway, Scotland on July 15, 1952. The cause of death was anemia.
After Pink's death, his works were republished by the Banner of Truth Trust and reached a much wider audience as a result. Biographer Iain Murray observes of Pink, "the widespread circulation of his writings after his death made him one of the most influential evangelical authors in the second half of the twentieth century." His writing sparked a revival of expository preaching and focused readers' hearts on biblical living.

Great commentary for every preacher and teacher out there. This book will take you deeper into Exodus than you have probably ever been.

El libro electrónico que estoy leyendo tiene 50 páginas más. Es una verdadera lástima que la aplicación ya no te deje cargar tus propios libros. Perdí de que se me contara más de mil páginas del reto del año anterior, que pena por Goodreads! Espero ese problema se arregle.
En cuanto al libro puedo decir que es una buena lectura, pero su caracter debe ser plenamente personal y devocional; quien llegue a este libro buscando material para predicar una serie de sermones en Éxodo, debe buscar en otro lado.
La lectura, en unos apartados resulta tediosa y sin mencionar la constante alusión que hace el autor de los hermanos de Plymouth, a cuyo dispensacionalismo el autor sucumbe.
Por otra parte, el autor sostiene posturas anti paedobautistas que le dejan en la postura de no conocer su argumentación.
Es de mi costumbre, terminar un libro una vez lo comienzo; perro, sin duda no volveré a este autor.

Devotional commentary on Exodus. Some of the application was excellent,but in other places it was kind of mystical and overreaching.

A bit dry at times. However, this book expounds greatly upon the typology of Exodus, showing how Jesus and the New Testament are found on every page of the book. Sometimes the relationships seemed contrived, but I would rather see them and be able to decide for myself whether the comparisons are legitimate or not. The last chapter alone contained 75 points likening Moses to Christ typically, with corresponding Old Testament and New Testament verses - very awe-inspiring.

What a wonderful commentary on the book of Exodus! I referred to it often as I taught a class on the Tabernacle and the Jewish Feasts. Although not an exhaustive commentary, it is extremely useful in understanding the how God was always pointing toward the Messiah, and how Jesus has fulfilled these types and shadows.

I love this book! It is much deeper than most Christian books I get to read and seriously pours over each point presented and considers things that I have not. This is exercise for my mind and spirit and I am blessed.

Deep, insightful, wonderful book. I used this to supplement Bible study class on Exodus. Outstanding information on the symbolism of Christ in the winderness tabernacle. This was my first book by this author - definitely won't be my last.

Wonderful. Have read this author before by reading Gleanings in Genesis. I have been brought to my knees Mr. Pinks insight into Exodus. Cannot recommend this highly enough. Same for Genesis book. Both these books are so helpful in Bible
Studies.
Studies.

Too allegorical.

Exceptional book. But AW Pink, before he was one of the greatest reformed theologians was actually a dispensationlaist. This book was written either during or towards the end of his conversion to Reformed Theology. There are "gleanings" of his dispensationalism, especially in the first half of the book. It is also interesting that he (over) uses the word dispensation to explain how God moves. He gives great attention to detail and even in the most minute thing, points to Christ. No wonder he converted to Reformed Theology!
