Sorry David, I have a few things from him but am not that knowledgeable about his works.

David...I agree with you, he is not often cited by others. The only thing I do know that may be of some help is that Lloyd-Jones had the utmost respect for him. Their ministries at Westminster Chapel overlapped a couple years and I've read in a couple of places where Lloyd-Jones admired him greatly. While not exactly what you're looking for, that kind of endorsement has got to count for something.

Morgan is not Reformed; his eschatology is somewhat dispensational. He can be excellent; he can be insane. It varies quite a bit. His style is readable and more uniform than his content, but I find that he frequently categorizes things with rather too much neatness.
You can learn some magnificent things from him, though.

Dear Sirs:Interesting that you are in a minority of Evangelicals who don't remember G. Campbell Morgan today, Most Evangelicals rate him highly, even 50 years after his death. Known as prince of expositors, Preaching Magazine ranked him among the ten greatest preachers of the 20th century. Saying that he was "insane" was an impertiment remark, hardly worth a comment.
If Campbell Morgan was "insane," we all could profit from his "insanity." Of course, it is hard for me to be unbiased. I am his grandson. My brothers and I have written a new book, In the Shadow of Grace, which will be published by Baker Books in June, 2007. Perhaps a careful reading of this book might awaken minds and hearts of those for whom this man of God seems an enigma.

Dr. Richard L. Morgan

Dr. Morgan,

Thanks for stopping by. I got my set of The Westminster Pulpit and am enjoying it very much. I am pleased to hear of your book (a biography, I take it). I will look for it when it comes out.

Dr. Campbell Morgan was indeed the Prince of Expositors. He was often quoted by the Late Great Dr. Vance Havner and loved by Dr. R.G. Lee. I would love to have more of his works. I have only one: a commentary on the Gospel of John, but it is a GOLD MINE!

Dr. Richard L Morgan, thank you for your response and strong defense of a great man. I am married to a great grandson of G. Campbell Morgan and am currently putting together a library for my two sons. Kathleen Morgan Jones, the daughter of Frank Crossley Morgan is my Mother-in-law. Please contact me at the following email; susanj@heightsmortgage.com at your earliest convenience.

I just purchased "The Crises of the Christ" from Amazon. A lot of used and collectible books available through Amazon for Dr. G. Campbell Morgan. We bought it after reading T. Austin Sparks reference to his book. Look forward to reading this book.

Hi Hilary,

I just bought an old copy of The Crises of the Christ on eBay as well. I'm really looking forward to reading it.

My father, Richard M. Suffern was a professor of New Testament at the old Biblical Seminary in New York, and was profoundly blessed by the ministry of G. Campbell Morgan when he was preaching in Philadelphia in the early 1930's before Morgan returned to Westminster Chapel in London. Morgan was one of the men who helped my father move through the academic into an experiential knowledge of Christ as Savior. I have been blessed by receiving my father's copies of several of his commentary sets. I am using his commentary on the Acts as part of my preparation to preach on Acts 4 and 5 and am truly challenged.

This has not so much to do with your subject but I am reserching our family tree and we are related to george morgan campbell morgans father and I am looking to learn about campbell morgans life and faimly in the us, as we the british side from the forest have lost touch. but it is strange that I live only minutes from tetbury. we have letters and books not related to Worship but I would like to know more about all his childrens lives and works
many thanks a distant uk cousin

You may have a point on him not being qouted much, but I have read and re-read an old copy of these sermons with great benefit. I find myself qouting him. I notice that Dr. Campbell-Morgan makes some insights that I've never heard anywhere else. Maybe many writers couldn't fit his insights into their writings. He writes with a unique style of applying his texts. It not just proof-texting. Another thought: Is it possible his conection with Congregationalism, right up to or shortly before, its swing to liberalism, caused him to lose his widespread appeal to latter conservatives? That he wasn't identified as much with later conservatives?

G. Campbell Morgan wrote over 60 books in his career. I have spent many years in collecting them all, reading them with the greatest pleasure along with my Bible studies. Never have I found any other author comparible to Morgan's 'gifted' perceptions of the Word. My question has been for years, as to why his complete set of works are not in reprint, given in a personal library format, instead of having to scour the web in search of old copies, which by the way, come at great cost, as they are very popular and many search for copies. perhaps his heirs, or whomever holds the rights, should seek to revive the 'bird's eye' works one day. I would certainly purchase the complete set.

Hi there,
Considering the following quotation, is G. Campbell Morgan a Universalist?

"We cannot conceive of a Creator who knows the end from the beginning, one who is Love, who has infinite wisdom, and infinite power, giving to any being life, life which is never to end, but to continue in suffering to all eternity. The Bible does not teach it anywhere in the original languages. God's punishments are remedial and take place within the span of the ages during which he is accomplishing the making of man in His image and likeness. Punishment will last no longer than is necessary to bring man to hate his sin and be reconciled to his Saviour."
G. Campbell Morgan Pastor, "Sermon: The cross and the ages to come" , Westminster Chapel, London

Thanks,
Keith

Keith,
That's an interesting quote. I'd like to read the whole sermon. Do you have a more specific citation? Is it from The Westminster Pulpit?

CampbellMorgan comes from a pre TV era when men of God wrestled with the scriptures rather than borrowing from everybody else.
I admire his writing hugely and am often amazed at how he arrived at his expositions . He was a preacher who truly sought to keep his studies in context with the whole Bible rather than a shallow scissor and paste approach which we in today's busy Church tend to follow. My recommendation is study your text very carefully, do your own exposition then read G. C-M and he'll show you everything you missed
Blessings
Mark

I have actually heard that G. Campbell Morgan turned away from dispensationalism, because there was no biblical basis for it whatsoever. Does anybody know if this is true or not?
