Each of us may be sure that if God sends us over stony ground, He will provide us with strong shoes, and He will not send us on any journey without equipping us well.

Alexander MacLaren

Alexander MacLaren (1826–1910) war ein schottisch-englischer Baptistenpastor, der über vier Jahrzehnte an der Union Baptist Chapel in Manchester wirkte. Er wurde durch seine an den hebräischen und griechischen Grundtexten orientierte Predigtweise bekannt, die in der mehrbändigen Sammlung „Expositions of Holy Scripture“ dokumentiert ist. Heutigen Bibellesern bieten seine Schriften eine systematische und eng am Bibeltext orientierte Auslegung.
