, 1903

Overview

Arguably, nobody has lived a more scrutinized nor a more passionately faithful life than the apostle Paul. In this compelling and Scripturally-infused call for godly living, Morgan walks his readers through Paul’s epistle to the Philippians, using this well-loved apostle’s life and writings as a model for how we are to live today. Analyzing holy living, which he defines as being healthy of spirit, Morgan compares the life of Paul with that of an Old Testament character, Naaman, who lived a starkly contrasting life.

About George Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan (1863–1945) was a pastor and leading Bible scholar. He was a contemporary of Rodney “Gipsy” Smith and preached his first sermon at age 13. A few years after Morgan was ordained to the Congregational ministry, D. L. Moody invited him to teach at the Moody Bible Institute. Morgan became the director of Northfield Bible Conference after Moody.

He was the pastor of Westminster Chapel in London from 1904 to 1919 and then from 1933 to 1943, pausing for a brief period to work at Biola in Los Angeles. In 1939, Morgan began to mentor Martyn Lloyd-Jones, who would eventually become his successor at Westminster Chapel.

Morgan’s essay entitled The Purposes of the Incarnation is included in a collection called The Fundamentals, a set of 90 essays that is widely considered to be the foundation of the modern Fundamentalist movement. Several of Morgan’s writings are in G. Campbell Morgan Collection (30 vols.), including The Analyzed Bible, Discipleship, The True Estimate of Life and How to Live, and many more. He is also the author of God’s Perfect Will and The Crises of the Christ.
