Presented here, in paperback for the first time, is John Peter Lange's Theologischhomiletisches Bibelwerk. Intended to help preachers prepare sermons the commentary series is essentially biblical and evangelical catholic. This nineteenth-century commentary has served as a standard reference for more than a century. Many early reviewers regarded Schaff's edition with his additional material as superior to the original. It has proven to be a complete and useful commentary and continues to prove especially valuable to ministers. It contains critical annotations of the text and its translation, and a threefold commentary, exegetical, doctrinal, and homiletical. Under these three heads the text is viewed from every aspect.

This treatise on 2 Peter 1:10-11 -- "be diligent to make your calling and election sure" -- is a call to us to not grow weary in doing good. They who use their utmost diligence in the things of God all their days shall at last have an abundant entrance ministered to them in the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The preface to this work is by Richard Baxter.
