We are thankful to announce that Volume 1 of John Gill’s – Sermons & Tracts is now available. This is the first volume of our new seven-volume edition to be completed. This new set contains all the sermons, documents, and essays written by John Gill and previously published in the 1773 two-volume set, in the 1814 three-volume set, and several other sermons, etc., published individually and distributed as stand-alone documents. This new seven-volume set also contains several sermons and eulogies written by various writers which were published after John Gill’s death. There are approximately 3,500 pages in the set. Each volume contains its own Table of Contents and a Topical Index, wherein all the documents in the seven volumes are indexed by subject. If our research is correct, the publication of this seven-volume set will be the first time this material has been published simultaneously in one set. This seven-volume set does not include the other major writings of John Gill such as his Exposition of the Old & New Testament in nine volumes, nor his A Complete Body of Doctrinal & Practical Divinity, nor The Cause of God & Truth, nor An Exposition of Solomon’s Song. All of these have been previously published and are available on our Baptist Standard Bearer website.

All the material in this new set is complete and unabridged, but re-typeset in modern, easy-to-read fonts. Everything has been extensively proofread and all the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin words and phrases have been checked and compared for accuracy by teachers, editors, and professional linguists.

We believe the contents of this new set of John Gill’s – Sermons & Tracts will make a vital contribution toward a more accurate assessment and appreciation of John Gill and his writings because these can now be evaluated by each individual reader for himself, without the undue influence of either the friends or foes of John Gill. Most importantly, we believe the contents of this new set will exalt the LORD Jesus Christ, bring glory to God, and greatly comfort and encourage to the people of God.
