Originally published in 17 volumes, this set of commentaries
on the entire Bible by the famous Baptist preacher Benajah
Harvey Carroll (1843-1914) was edited and published by
J.B. Carnfill between 1913-16. Carnfill, who was associated
with Carroll for many years and who taught Bible for more
than 30 years at the seminary level, testified that the
Carroll was "one of the greatest Bible scholars and exegetes
living in the world today." Carnfill wrote that in the
General Introduction to the commentary on Genesis in 1913,
the year before Carroll died. The Wycliffe Biographical
Dictionary says Carroll "was a powerful preacher, keen debater,
ready writer, widely-read historian." An Interpretation of the
English Bible is long out of print and is rare. It is not a
verse-by-verse commentary, but it is packed with helpful
thoughts for preachers and teachers. It is an excellent set
for a preacher to use in conjunction with his through-the-Bible
reading one year.
