Alexander Maclaren (1826-1910) was one of Great Britain’s most famous preachers.  He pastored the Union Chapel, Manchester, from 1858-1903.  Because of his devotion to studying the Word, he rarely involved himself in denominational or civic affairs.  Rather, he invested his time studying the Word in the original and sharing its truths with others in sermons which are models of effective expository preaching.  Kregel Publications also publishes Maclaren’s book Victory in Failure.
