The First Book is. . . . . .

from Biblical Book Review · host Kevin MacDonald

The Training of the Twelve, written by A.B. Bruce in 1871, is a book that shows the ageless leadership principles that our Lord taught His twelve closest companions, the future apostles, who would ‘turn the world upside down’. This volume is a stimulating template for those who are looking to increase their faith in the Lord’s body today. The Training of the Twelve demonstrates just how the ‘Master Potter molds and fashions His disciples into useful vessels’. “Alexander Balmain Bruce (1831-1899) was born near Perth, Scotland. Educated at Edinburgh, he served as minister with the Free Church from 1859-1875. A popular lecturer on both sides of the Atlantic, he was appointed Professor of Theology, Apologetics and New Testament Exegesis in the Free Church College in Glasgow in 1876. Bruce’s many valuable expository and apologetic works are still sought be evangelicals for their thoroughness and depth” (back cover of the Kregel Publications, paperback edition, 1971).
