Exposition of the Epistle of James

Although not very well known today, Thomas Manton, an English Puritan clergyman from the late 1600s, is best known for his skilled expository preaching and was a favorite of John Charles Ryle and Charles Spurgeon.  Spurgeon said his works contained “a mighty mountain of sound theology” and his sermons were “second to none” to his contemporaries. He went on to say, “Manton is not brilliant, but he is always clever; he is not oratorical, but he is powerful; he is not striking, but he is deep.”

This exposition on the book of James is considered by many to be his finest work.
