"Everything that John Eadie wrote is pure gold. He was simply the best exegete of his generation. His commentaries on Paul's epistles are valued highly by careful expositors. The only regret the purchaser of these volumes will have is that Eadie did not write commentaries on the rest of the Bible. Solid Ground Christian Books has done a great service by bringing Eadie's works back into print." - Dr. Robert P. Martin According to the New Schaff-Herzog Enclyclopedia of Religious Knowledge, "These commentaries of John Eadie arew marked by candor and clearness as well as by an evangelical unction not common in works of the kind." John Eadie (1810-1876) was a prominent Scottish Seccession and United Presbyterian Church minister and New Testament scholar. He was appointed Professor of Biblical Literature in the United Presbyterian Divinity Hall in 1843. His widely acclaimed commentaries on Paul's epistles prompted his appointment to the New Testament committee engaged in preparing the Revised Version of the Bible in English.

He was born at Alva, in Stirlingshire.
In 1835 he became minister of the Cambridge Street Secession church in Glasgow, and for many years he was generally regarded as the leading representative of his denomination in Glasgow. As a preacher, though he was not eloquent, he was distinguished by good sense, earnestness and breadth of sympathy. In 1863 he removed with a portion of his congregation to a new church at Lansdowne Crescent.
He held this appointment along with his ministerial charge till the close of his life.
He received the degree of LL.D from Glasgow in 1844, and that of Doctor of Divinity from Street Andrews in 1850. He died at Glasgow on 3 June 1876.
His library was bought and presented to the United Presbyterian College.
His publications are considered an outstanding example of biblical criticism and interpretation, some of them being for popular use and others more strictly scientific.
