Hugh Martin (1822-85) combined a brilliant analytical and mathematical mind with a child-like heart which rested in Christ and his atoning work, as revealed in the Scriptures. Most of the sermons in the present volume were transcribed from Martin's handwritten notes. One of Martin's remarks give us a glimpse into his depth of insight and loyalty to Scripture: 'The Scriptures in explaining the scheme of redemption make frequent use of expressions of this general form: Jesus was by the Father appointed...our Surety, our Representative. The scheme of redemption is founded on a marvelous exchange of places between Christ and his people, he taking theirs, they being translated into his.' This collection of sermons will greatly deepen your spiritual life. 245 pages, from Banner of Truth.
