""Whoever attempts it will find it far easier to write a long commentary than a brief one,"" said a famous commentator. This we believe. The Christian Workers' Commentary represents the labor of eight years in the use of such spare hours as could be found in an otherwise well-filled life, but had the plan permitted its expansion into a series of volumes instead of one, it might have been completed earlier. James Martin Gray (1851-1935) was a pastor in the Reformed Episcopal Church, and the President of the Moody Bible Institute (1904-1934). He wrote numerous titles on how to learn from, understand, and embrace The Bible.
