The Collected Writings of W. E. Vine. This set is hardback, sadly the set only seems to be available in softback today, that is a pity because I am sure most people would be reaching for them whenever requiring to do an in depth study. Although a renowned greek scholar, his Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words, testifies of that fact, he has a very easy flowing writing style. A five volume set by one of the finest Brethren writers. Unashamedly dispensational in his outlook but most Bible students would say his writings are all the better for that.

When I was a student at a missionary training centre, one of the Bible school teachers spoke very highly of Vine and recommended we purchase the set if possible. It was a recommendation I fully agree with. Twenty three years after purchase they are still my first port of call when I need an accurate understanding of an area of Scripture. My only criticism is that they don't cover the whole of the New Testament, but many themes are covered in addition as well as the book of Isaiah. As the first 4 volumes were printed in 1985 and the fifth in 1986, I waited until all five were available together, I should have paid the extra postage and bought them as soon as they were available.

A great investment in understanding God's Word in greater depth. ( )
