Coke, Thomas – A Commentary on the Holy Bible

Coke, Thomas – A Commentary on the Holy Bible

I would say that this work is a massive work, but it is done in the view of Methodists. That may be a plus or a minus depending on your viewpoint.




This relatively large commentary (37 megabytes uncompressed) contains over 13,330+ passage comments and nearly one thousand chapter comments. Coke discusses 2,413 Greek words and 2,348 Hebrew words. Nearly every verse in the Bible includes a comment. Fixes to the e-Sword edition, from the text provided to me, is: Chapter comments separated from verse comments, Roman numeral verse references converted to Arabic digits, and Greek/Hebrew distinguished from English text for proper display.

Brown The Devil's Mission of Amusement
7 page article from 1889. Hollywood in the church and her ministries. Brown was a student of C.H Spurgeon.
Excerpts:
Different days demand their own special testimony. The watchman who would be faithful to his Lord and to the city of his God needs to carefully note the signs of the times and to emphasize his witness accordingly. Concerning the testimony needed now, there can be little if any doubt. An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, that is so gross, so brazen in its impudence, that the most shortsighted of spiritual men can hardly fail to notice it....  Amusement for the people is the leading article advertised by each... until the hideous fact has been proved up to the hilt, that "amusement" is ousting "the preaching of the Gospel" as the great attraction... The Concert is fast becoming as much a recognized part of church life as the Prayer Meeting; and it is already, in most places, far better attended.

"Providing recreation for the people" will soon be looked upon as a necessary part of Christian work, and as binding upon the Church of God, as though it were a Divine command, unless some strong voices are raised which will make themselves heard.

In the same year as his mayoralty he was ordained in the Church of England and served a curacy at South Petherton in Somerset. He had already allied himself with the Methodist movement and this made for trouble when a new Rector arrived in the parish. Coke had begun to hold cottage services and open services of the sort promoted by Wesley. He was dismissed from his post on Easter Sunday 1777 and his parishioners celebrated at the Rector’s behest by ringing the church bells and opening a hogshead of cider. He returned to Petherton in 1807 and preached to a crowd of 2,000. -wikipedia.org
