Dr. John 'Rabbi' Duncan.
The Work of the
Holy Spirit in Connection with the Conversion of the
Jews.
Dr. John Duncan was one of the pioneers of the modern mission to the Jewish people. Nicknamed "Rabbi" because of his vast knowledge of Semitic languages and Judaism, he became the Church of Scotland’s first missionary to the Jews and later occupied the Chair of Hebrew and Oriental Languages at the Free Church College in Edinburgh. This lecture was delivered in 1839 when he was minister of Milton Parish in Glasgow. Though speaking to a predominantly Christian audience, Dr. Duncan speaks throughout the lecture as though he were addressing the Jewish people themselves. The address appears as it was originally produced with the exception of minor corrections to punctuation, changes in spelling of Hebrew words and the addition of sub-headings to break up the text. |

| Robert Murray M'Cheyne. Our Duty to
Israel.
A updated edition of the sermon preached on 17 November 1839, after M'Cheyne returned from a "Mission of Inquiry into the State of the Jewish People", commissioned by the Church of Scotland. It has been edited for language in an effort to bring it into modern English to make this extraordinary sermon more accessible to today’s readers. Every attempt has been made to retain the content and emphasis that the author intended, and to stray as little as possible from the original text. Explanatory margin notes have been added which were not in the original publishing, as well as the biblical references used by the author. |

| Charles Haddon Spurgeon. The Restoration and
Conversion of the Jews.
The late nineteenth century was an age of great preachers, among whom the greatest was Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892). Though other preachers attracted large audiences or published collections of sermons and addresses, Spurgeon outdid them all. In 1865, the year after he preached the address on this page, 25,000 of his published sermons were sold each week. Deeply rooted in both the Scriptures and Puritan writers, Spurgeon had a firm grasp of Christian doctrine and possessed a remarkable ability to communicate Biblical truths.This sermon on Ezekiel 37:1-10 was preached by Spurgeon on behalf of Missions to Jews at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in June 1864 . |
