The question of profiting from Scripture provides the theme for
this book, originally published as a series in Studies in the
Scriptures.
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 subject before us is one that needs stressing in these days.
The great majority of our pulpits are silent upon it, and the fact
that it has so little place in modern preaching is one of the signs
of the times, one of the many evidences that the Apostasy must be
near at hand. "Concerning the eternal punishment of the wicked
there are few, it seems, who realize the vital importance of a
ringing testimony to this truth, and fewer still who apprehend the
deep seriousness of what is involved in a denial of it. The
importance of a clear witness to this doctrine may be seen by
noting what a prominent place it holds in the Word; and
contrariwise, the seriousness of denying it is evidenced by the
fact that such denial is a rejection of God's truth." 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 Jesus.
An unabridged, unaltered edition to include an introduction by the
author, with the complete appendices (I through IV) at book's end.
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 Pink's The Life of David Volume I follows the early life of
David in 1 Samuel through 2 Samuel 10. The life of David marked an
important epoch in the unfolding of God's purpose and plan of
redemption. Here a little and there a little God made known the
grand goal toward which all His dealings tended. At sundry times
and in divers manners God spoke in times past. In various ways and
by different means was the way prepared for the coming of Christ.
The work of redemption, with respect to its chief design, is
carried on from the fall of man to the end of the world by
successive acts and dispensations in different ages, but all
forming part of one great whole, and all leading to the one
appointed and glorious climax. 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
from Scripture. It was the verse, 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 Jesus.
Arthur Pink's The Life of David Volume II follows the life of David
in 2 Samuel 10 through 1 Chronicles 22. "Moses erred sadly when,
instead of trustfully responding promptly unto the Lord's call for
him to make known His request unto Pharaoh, he gave way to unbelief
and voiced one objection after another (Ex. 3 and 4); nevertheless
in the same we may perceive a lovely exemplification of the
self-diffidence of those called upon to minister in divine things,
and their personal sense of unfitness and utter unworthiness. The
two things are quite distinct, though they are found in one and the
same incident: the personal failure of Moses, yet his very failure
supplying a blessed type of humility in the true servant of God.
That which is found in 2 Samuel 10 affords a parallel: the action
of David in expressing his condolence to the king of Ammonites
supplies a beautiful type of Christ sending forth His servants with
a message of comfort for sinners; yet, as we shall see, from a
personal viewpoint, David's conduct was to be blamed." Arthur

Arthur W. Pink Collection Vol 1 includes three Arthur Pink
classics; The Divine Inspiration of the Bible, Profiting From The
Word, and Divine Healing: Is It Scriptural. "Christianity is the
religion of a Book. Christianity is based upon the impregnable rock
of Holy Scripture. The starting point of all doctrinal discussion
must be the Bible. Upon the foundation of the Divine inspiration of
the Bible stands or falls the entire edifice of Christian
truth.-"If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous
do?" (Ps. 11:3). Surrender the dogma of verbal inspiration and you
are left like a rudderless ship on a stormy sea-at the mercy of
every wind that blows. Deny that the Bible is, without any
qualifications, the very Word of God, and you are left without any
ultimate standard of measurement and without any supreme authority.
It is useless to discuss any doctrine taught by the Bible until you
are prepared to acknowledge, unreservedly, that the Bible is the
final court of appeal. Grant that the Bible is a Divine revelation
and communication of God's own mind and will to men, and you have a
fixed starting point from which advance can be made into the domain
of truth. Grant that the Bible is (in its original manuscripts)
inerrant and infallible and you reach the place where study of its
contents is both practicable and profitable." "There is grave
reason to believe that much Bible reading and Bible study has been
of no spiritual profit to those who engaged in it. We greatly fear
that in many instances it has proved a curse rather than a
blessing. This is strong language, we are well aware, yet no
stronger than the case calls for. Divine gifts may be misused, and
Divine mercies abused. That this has been so in the present
instance is evident by the fruits produced. Even the natural man
may take up the study of the Scriptures with the same enthusiasm
and pleasure as he might of the sciences. Where this is the case,
his store of knowledge is increased, and so also is his pride. Like
a chemist engaged in making interesting experiments, the
intellectual searcher of the Word is quite elated when he makes
some discovery in it; but the joy of the latter is no more
spiritual than would be that of the former. Again, just as the
successes of the chemist generally increase his sense of
self-importance and cause him to look with disdain upon others more
ignorant than himself, so alas, is it often the case with those who
have investigated Bible numerics, typology, prophecy and other such
subjects." "Divine healing?" Is it scriptural or unscriptural? This
is a question which it is not easy to answer in a single sentence.
Many passages on healing may be cited from God's Word, but that
raises the question of their interpretation-in accord with the
context and also in harmony with the general Analogy of Faith: as
it also calls for a careful examination of all inferences drawn
from and conclusions based upon those passages." Arthur Walkington

"It is generally recognized that spirituality is at low ebb in
Christendom and not a few perceive that sound doctrine is rapidly
on the wane, yet many of the Lord's people take comfort from
supposing that the Gospel is still being widely preached and that
large numbers are being saved thereby. Alas, their optimistic
supposition is ill-founded and sandy grounded. If the "message" now
being delivered in Mission Halls be examined, if the "tracts" which
are scattered among the unchurched masses be scrutinized, if the
"open-air" speakers be carefully listened to, if the "sermons" or
"addresses" of a "Soul-winning campaign" be analyzed; in short, if
modern "Evangelism" be weighed in the balances of Holy Writ, it
will be found wanting-lacking that which is vital to a genuine
conversion, lacking what is essential if sinners are to be shown
their need of a Savior, lacking that which will produce the
transfigured lives of new creatures in Christ Jesus." Arthur

"The present generation has, for the most part, been reared not
only in an atmosphere of negative unbelief but of hostile unbelief.
They live in a world where materialism and skepticism are rampant
and dominant. In the great majority of homes the Sunday newspaper
is the only thing read on the Lord's Day. Doubt as to moral and
spiritual truth is distilled through a score of channels. Our seats
of learning are hotbeds of agnosticism. Our literature, with rare
exceptions, makes light of God, and jokes about sacred things. The
newspapers, the radio broadcasts, public utterances and private
conversations, are steadily but surely removing the foundations of
righteousness and destroying what little faith in spiritual things
still remain. The vast majority in the English-speaking world are
totally ignorant of the contents of the Bible, know not that it is
a Divine revelation, yea, question whether there be any God at all.
Yet modern skepticism is rarely candid, but is rather a refuge in
which multitudes are sheltering from an accusing conscience. With
such we are not here concerned, for where a prejudiced mind and a
caviling spirit obtain, argument is useless; and we can but leave
them unto the sovereign mercy of the Lord." Arthur Walkington Pink

"Man is notoriously a creature of extremes, and nowhere is that
fact more evident than in the attitude taken by different ones to
this subject. Whereas some have affirmed the Bible is written in
such simple language that it calls for no explaining, a far greater
number have suffered the papists to persuade them that its contents
are so far above the grasp of the natural intellect, its subjects
so profound and exalted, its language so abstruse and ambiguous
that the common man is quite incapable of understanding it by his
own efforts, and therefore that it is the part of wisdom for him to
submit his judgment to "holy mother church," who brazenly claims to
be the only Divinely authorized and qualified interpreter of God's
oracles. Thus does the Papacy withhold God's Word from the laity,
and impose her own dogmas and superstitions upon them. For the most
part the laity are quite content to have it so, for thereby they
are relieved of searching the Scriptures for themselves. Nor is it
much better with many Protestants, for in most cases they are too
indolent to study the Bible for themselves, and believe only what
they hear from the pulpits." 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

"That Which Occupies the central and dominant place in what the
Spirit has been pleased to record of the life of Elisha is the
miracles performed by and connected with him. Far more miracles
were wrought by him or were granted in answer to his prayers than
any other of the Old Testament prophets. In fact the narrative of
his history consists of little else than a record of supernatural
acts and events. Nor need this at all surprise us, though it is
strange that so few seem to grasp its implication and significance.
The character of Elisha's mission and ministry was in thorough
keeping with Israel's condition at that time. The very fact that
these miracles were needed indicates the state into which Israel
had fallen. Idolatry had held sway for so long that the true and
living God was no longer known by the nation. Here and there were
individuals who believed in the Lord, but the masses were
worshipers of idols. Therefore by means of drastic interpositions,
by awe-inspiring displays of His power, by supernatural
manifestations of His justice and mercy alike, God forced even the
skeptical to recognize His existence and subscribe to His
supremacy." Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian

"THE DEATH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST is a subject of never-failing
interest to all who study prayerfully the scripture of truth. This
is so, not only because the believer's all both for time and
eternity depends upon it, but also, because of its transcendent
uniqueness. Four words appear to sum up the salient features of
this mystery of mysteries: the death of Christ was natural,
unnatural, preternatural, and supernatural." Arthur Walkington Pink

his staunchly Calvinist and Puritan-like teachings. Though born to

Is man a totally and thoroughly depraved creature by nature? To
appreciate the amazing grace of God we must understand all that we
have been forgiven. Arthur Pink helps us see the true condition of
man and the truth of the Gospel. You will develop a greater
appreciation for God's grace and a deeper reverence for His
boundless love. Who is man before God? Do we truly understand the
results of sin and our fallen nature, or the scope of God's
forgiveness? Pink provides you with a deeper and clearer
understanding of the Almighty's amazing love toward us. Arthur

In his early Spiritual life Arthur Pink a devout dispensationalist.
His views started to change in the late 1920's and in his book A

dispensationalism, that it destroys the unity and applicability of
Scripture. Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian
