About the author

Henry Allen "Harry" Ironside (October 14, 1876-January 15, 1951) was a Canadian-American Bible teacher, preacher, theologian, pastor, and author.

Ironside was one of the most prolific Christian writers of the 20th Century and published more than eighty books and pamphlets, many of which are still in print. As an editorial reviewer wrote of a 2005 republication, "Ironside's commentaries are a standard and have stood the test of time."

Though the title implies a commentary on 4 books of the Bible it is basically a commentary on two books and comments on two others. Pages 7-156 cover 1 Timothy, pages 157-260 cover 2 Timothy while Titus is covered quickly in pages 261-274 [that's right- 3 chapters in less than 15 pages] and finally Philemon is pages 277-288 [but it is only one chapter].
Don't misunderstand me though- the book is excellent but obviously more so in covering 1 & 2 Timothy. Solid, sensible and scriptural= you basically cannot do wrong with a book by Ironside.

Have you ever noticed that in older classics, people are always reading sermons? I always wondered why. Now that I've been at it for a while, I understand it. It is a blessing that our culture has actively ignored. If we were to replace all those self-help/relationship books with books of solid Biblical preaching, we would all be better off. Could there be a better book on personal relationships than Philemon? Church politics and personal behavior could all improve with a solid understanding of 1 & 2 Timothy. What other problems could be solved by the direct application of other Biblical books? The power of God is in His Word, but also in the foolishness of preaching. We rob ourselves of the chance to live by that power when we turn to man's wisdom. So turn to the wisdom of God in His Word and in sermons.
Reading Ironside's commentaries, collected sermons, or notes is like listening to a good friend talking about a topic or person they love with all their heart. His submission and trust in God's word is beacutifully evident on every page. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

"Paul's personal correspondence was the outcome of a heart devoted to Christ. What of our letters? Do we seek to help others to know HIM better as we write?" Very good way to end this commentary.

A reliable commentary on the Bible that you will enjoy with applications for every day living.

[Richard Angelus · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love reading good Bible commentaries. I believe that the best way (of course!) to understand the Christian faith is to read and study the Bible, then the next best books in order of importance have to be those which help in the understanding of the written Word of God, namely, the Bible commentaries. Although there is a place for technical and scholarly commentaries, especially when you want to use it for Bible Study or sermon preparations; for leisure reading and reflections, I suggest reading expository commentary (like this one) and devotional commentary (like those by J.C. Ryle's). Reading Ironside's expository commentary is like reading his sermons - plain and pointed, simple and systematic, challenging, and life-changing.
