An Expositor
About the Editor
I serve the local church and this small corner of the internet with one main ambition: to handle God’s Word carefully and to help others do the same. The Expositor’s Library grew out of years of preaching, teaching, and quietly leaning on good books to steady my own heart and ministry.
An Expositor
I'm a pastor with a deep love for expository preaching and a grateful dependence on the riches of Reformed theology. Week by week I open the Bible with God's people, and like many pastors I lean heavily on wise, careful voices from the past and present.
The Expositor’s Library is simply an attempt to share that journey— assessing commentaries with conviction, clarity, and care so that pastors, students, and serious readers can steward their time and money well.
- Primarily serving: pastors and preachers
- Also serving: pastors-in-training and serious students
- Welcoming: any believer who wants to grow in careful Bible reading
A Little of My Story
I didn’t set out to build a commentary site. I set out to preach the Bible as clearly and faithfully as I could. Over the years that has meant early mornings, dog-eared books, scribbled sermon notes, and many quiet moments of repentance and encouragement in the study. Somewhere along the way I realised how deeply my preaching had been helped—and sometimes reshaped—by the commentaries I used.
Some volumes pushed me back to the text with fresh clarity. Others modelled a way of handling Scripture that was both rigorous and worshipful. A few, if I'm honest, left me frustrated or uneasy. As I talked with other pastors, I heard the same stories: limited budgets, crowded shelves, and a nagging question—“Which of these actually helps me preach Christ faithfully?”
The Expositor’s Library is my attempt to answer that question, slowly and carefully. I write as a convinced Reformed pastor—thankful for the doctrines of grace, shaped by the Five Solas, and committed to Christ-centred exposition of all Scripture. At the same time, I want to be fair-minded, grateful for what is good, and honest about where a work may pull away from evangelical convictions.
My hope is simple: that this site will help you choose tools that genuinely serve your preaching, your study, and your love for Christ and his people.
What Shapes This Work
Scripture & the Gospel
- The Bible is God’s inspired, inerrant Word and our final authority.
- All Scripture ultimately points to the Lord Jesus Christ, crucified and risen.
- Commentaries are servants of the text, never replacements for it.
The Church & Preaching
- The local church is God’s ordinary context for growth and mission.
- Preaching should be expository, doctrinally rich, and plainly understandable.
- Scholarship is a gift when it serves the pulpit and the people in the pew.
The Pastor’s Life
- Before we speak for God, we must live before God in humility and repentance.
- Study is part of loving Christ’s flock well, not a luxury for spare time.
- Our use of books should deepen dependence on Scripture, not distract from it.
If The Expositor’s Library has helped you in any way—sharpening your thinking, saving you from an unhelpful purchase, or pointing you to a commentary that has fed your soul—I'm grateful. My prayer is that these resources will serve you quietly in the background, so that Christ is honoured in the foreground—in your preaching, your teaching, and your ordinary obedience.
