Parallel Lives of the Old and New Testament by Clarence Macartney and published by Classics.
A master of biographical preaching, Dr Clarence Macartney provides a unique study of Bible characters as he compares and contrasts one person from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament. Included in this book are sermons on:
* David and Peter
* Elijah and John the Baptist
* Hannah and Mary
* Balaam and Judas
The contrast and comparison of person serve to bring out the salient features in the different characters and their personalities. In the introduction Dr Macartney writes: “When we lay one character alongside another, we can better understand both of them... as far as I know this has never been done with the characters of the Bible.” Each of the twelve sermons in the book contain a wealth of illustrations and quotations that add depth and insight to the exposition.
