A Transforming Knowledge of the Living God The timeless appeal of
this classic book, written by a preacher with a worldwide ministry
during the first half of the twentieth century, demonstrates the
deep hunger for a saving knowledge of God present in each
generation. Arthur Pink sought to give readers not just a
theoretical knowledge of God but pointed them toward a personal
relationship of yielding to him and living according to his
biblical precepts. Pink??'s book explores attributes such as
God??'s decrees, foreknowledge, sovereignty, holiness, grace, and
mercy, among many others, all packaged in a style especially useful
for pastors, teachers, and Bible students. Our God who is above all
names cannot be found through human searching alone, Pink teaches,
but can be known only as he is revealed by the Holy Spirit through
his living Word. Arthur W. Pink (1886???1952) served as a pastor
for churches in Colorado, California, Kentucky, and South Carolina.
His ministry brought him throughout the United States, Australia,
and Great Britain.
The words Christ spoke from the cross can inform Christians of the
purpose, the meaning, the sufferings, and the sufficiency of his
death. After an introduction that discusses the nature of Christ's
death as natural, unnatural, preternatural, and supernatural, Dr.
Arthur W. Pink clearly illustrates the lessons that can be drawn
from Christ's words-lessons on forgiveness, salvation, affection,
anguish, suffering, victory, and contentment. This comprehensive
and accessible volume is useful for both sermon preparation and
personal study.
The question of profiting from Scripture provides the theme for
this book, originally published as a series in Studies in the
Scriptures.
An unforgettably beautiful picture of our Lord is drawn for God's
people in the beloved Gospel of John. The promises in this Fourth
Gospel have brought to weary hearts down through the centuries the
sudden delight of the traveler who, crossing a desert, suddenly
comes upon the cool, tranquil comfort of a green-bordered oasis.
Thoroughly scholastic and yet vigorously practical, this exposition
of the beloved Gospel (a verse-by-verse running commentary) is not
a "hasty production." The author has already devoted fifteen years
of special study to John's Gospel and taught the book to five
different classes in the course of as many pastorates besides
lecturing on it frequently from the Bibles conference platform. He
has diligently sought to do two things (and accomplished them with
praiseworthy distinction): (1) obtain from God the meaning of the
text, and (2) apply its lessons most effectively to his hearers and
readers.
Arthur W. Pink's Doctrine Collection includes the six 'Doctrine'
books including; The Doctrine of Election, The Doctrine of
Justification, The Doctrine of Man's Impotence, The Doctrine of
Reconciliation, The Doctrine of Revelation, and The Doctrine of
Sanctification. Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian
evangelist and Biblical scholar. Born to Christian parents, prior
to conversion he migrated into a Theosophical society and quickly
rose in prominence. His conversion came from his father's patient
admonitions from Scripture. It was Proverbs 14:12, 'there is a way
which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of
death, ' which particularly struck his heart and compelled him to
renounce Theosophy and follow Jes
"Matthew's Gospel breaks the long silence which followed the
ministry of Malachi, the last of the Old Testament prophets. The
silence extended for four hundred years, and during that time God
was withdrawn from Israel. Throughout this period there were no
angelic manifestations, no prophet spoke for Jehovah, and though
the Chosen People were so rely pressed, yet were there no Divine
interpositions on their behalf. For four centuries God shut His
people up to His written Word. Again and again had He promised to
send the Messiah, and from Malachi onwards there was a believing
remnant who anxiously awaited the appearing of the predicted One.
It is at this point that Matthew picks up the thread dropped by the
last of the Old Testament prophets. The first purpose of Matthew's
Gospel is to present Christ as the Fulfiller of the promises made
to Israel and the prophecies which related to their Messiah. This
is why the word "fulfilled" occurs in Matthew fifteen times, and
why there are more quotations from the Old Testament in his Gospel
than in the remaining three added together." Arthur Walkington Pink
was an English Christian evangelist and Biblical scholar known for
his staunchly Calvinist and Puritan-like teachings. 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

"Opinion has been much divided concerning the design, scope, and
application of the Sermon on the Mount. Most commentators have seen
in it an exposition of Christian ethics. Men such as the late Count
Tolstoi have regarded it as the setting forth of a "golden rule"
for all men to live by. Others have dwelt upon its dispensational
bearings, insisting that it belongs not to the saints of the
present dispensation but to believers within a future millennium.
Two inspired statements, however, reveal its true scope. In Matthew
5:1, 2, we learn that Christ was here teaching His disciples. From
Matthew 7:28, 29, it is clear that He was also addressing a great
multitude of the people. Thus it is evident that this address of
our Lord contains instruction both for believers and unbelievers
alike." Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian evangelist

"After all that has been spoken and written by godly men on prayer,
we need something better than that which is of mere human origin to
guide us if we are to perform aright this essential duty. How
ignorant and sinful creatures are to endeavor to come before the
Most High God, how they are to pray acceptably to Him and to obtain
from Him what they need, can be discovered only as the great Hearer
of prayer is pleased to reveal His will to us. This He has done:
(1) by opening up a new and living way of access into His immediate
presence for the very chief of sinners; (2) by appointing prayer as
the chief means of intercourse and blessing between Himself and His
people; and (3) by graciously supplying a perfect pattern after
which the prayers of His people are to be modeled." Arthur

The death of Christ, the incarnate Son of God, is the most
remarkable event in all history. Its uniqueness was demonstrated in
various ways. Centuries before it occurred it was foretold with an
amazing fullness of detail, by those men whom God raised up in the
midst of Israel to direct their thoughts and expectations to a
fuller and more glorious revelation of Himself. The prophets of
Jehovah described the promised Messiah, not only as a person of
high dignity and as one who should perform wondrous and blessed
miracles, but also as one who should be "despised and rejected of
men," and whose labors and sorrows should be terminated by a death
of shame and violence. In addition, they affirmed that He should
die not only under human sentence of execution, but that "it
pleased the Lord to bruise Him; HE hath put Him to grief" (Isa.
53:10), yea, that Jehovah should cry, "Awake, O sword, against My
Shepherd, and against the man that is My Fellow, saith the Lord of
hosts: smite the Shepherd" (Zech. 13:7). Arthur Walkington Pink was

The Divine Covenants is an in-depth look at the covenants as they
are presented and revealed in God's Word. Arthur W. Pink traces the
Biblical teachings on God's covenants with man showing from
scripture the existence and meaning of the covenants of works and
grace, covenants given to us and our children for all time. This
book is a must read and will be appreciated by any serious student
of the Scriptures. Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian

At one time or another we all get the feeling that our prayer time
has lost its edge...become uninspired and burdensome. Arthor Pink's
A Guide to Fervent Prayer will help revitalize your prayer life
through reflections of the prayers of the apostles. "How blessed it
is to hear some aged saint, who has long walked with God and
enjoyed intimate communion with Him, pouring out his heart before
Him in adoration and supplication. But how much more blessed should
we esteem it could we have listened to the utterances of those who
accompanied with Christ in person during the days when He
tabernacled in this scene. And if one of the apostles were still
here upon earth what a high privilege we should deem it to hear him
engage in prayer " Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian

and Puritan-like teachings. Though born to Christian parents, prior

In his book The Ten Commandments Arthur W. Pink looks into the
origin of the The Commandments, their purpose for the Jewish people
and their significance for Christians. "There are two things which
are indispensable to the Christian's life: first, a clear knowledge
of duty, and second, a conscientious practice of duty corresponding
to his knowledge. As we can have no well-grounded hope of eternal
salvation without obedience, so we can have no sure rule of
obedience without knowledge. Although there may be knowledge
without practice, yet there cannot possibly be practice of God's
will without knowledge. And therefore that we might be informed
what we ought to do and what to avoid, it has pleased the Ruler and
Judge of all the earth to prescribe for us laws for the regulating
of our actions." Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian

Pink preached in may places in the world before he retired to a
remote part of Scotland, where he issued a monthly magazine, and
taught some 100 men by mail. Some who have been stung by the astute
observations in this book have told others not to buy it because it
is too controversial. And some even try to pin the charge of
legalism on it. This is false, and since when is 'controversial' a
reason not to buy a helpful commentary? This reviewer cannot see
all that Pink sees in these verses. But that is not to say that
what he sees is not there. He is a very able expositor, one who
breaks new ground, yet adheres to the age-proven theology. There
are things in this book which are in no other, so it is important
to anyone's understanding of the Sermon on the Mount. Both the
Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer come from The Sermon on the Mount,
one of the very best expositions of that part of the Scriptures.
Originally all these come from Pink's expositions in his magazine,
Studies in the Scriptures. Do not expect to read the usual comments
on these passages of Scripture. Pink was an original thinker, and
he called no man master, but sought his views of the Scriptures
directly from his Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, through prayer,
and through comparing Scripture with Scripture until he gained
understanding. The result is some controversial statements here and
there. In his discussion of the Beatitudes, the reader will find
short but keen observations, a setting of things right. Each
Beatitude is considered briefly, yet fully. Quotations from Andrew
Fuller and John Brown of Edinburgh are very helpful also. It is one
of Pink's strongest points, that he knew when and how to quote from
other greatwriters. His Hebrews is a great compendium of all the
excellent thoughts on that book of the Bible through the ages. In
the Lord's Prayer, Pink argues for the continued use of this form
of prayer. And no one can say that Pink was in any sense a
ritualist. His quotations from Manton, Gill, Perkins, etc. very
much enhance the value of this book. The thoughts are pure and
holy, the very kind of reading that will lift ones spirit, and lead
to a closer walk with Jesus.
