The Expositor’s Bible was first published in eight series, each with six volumes, from 1888 to 1905. Edited by Sir W. Robertson Nicoll, the series featured contributions from twenty-nine prominent preachers from various Protestant backgrounds, emphasizing the shared beliefs across many denominations.
Nicoll, a theological writer, apologist, and literary critic, was well-suited suited for this role. His position as editor of the prestigious British Weekly gave him the necessary access to recruit prominent preachers to the task, and his literary skills added significant value to the volumes.
The Expositor's Bible is a substantial work, instrumental for sermon crafting and scholarly study. The series enjoyed broad distribution among clergymen and ministers in its day, and the truths within these volumes continue to resonate with preachers, teachers, and students of the Word today.
Rev. G. T. Stokes (1843-1898) was educated at Queen's College, Galway, and Trinity College, Dublin, where he received his MA, BD, and DD. Stokes was ordained in 1866 serving various curacies in the then-established Church of Ireland, being nominated in 1968 first vicar of All Saints, Newtown Park, Co. Dublin. In 1893, he was elected by the chapter of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, to the prebend and canonry of St. Andrew. He served as deputy chair of ecclesiastical history at the university of Dublin and then in 1883 was promoted to chair. He published the successful Ireland and the Celtic Church in 1886, following it in 1888 with Ireland and the Anglo-Norman Church, further tracing the history of Irish Christianity. In 1887 he was appointed librarian of St. Patrick's Library in Dublin.
Sir William Robertson Nicoll, editor, was a distinguished scholar, theological writer, and preacher. Born in Scotland, he served as a minister before moving to England. He earned his MA from the University of Aberdeen in 1870 and was ordained in 1874. In 1884, he became the editor of The Expositor for Hodder and Stoughton. After recovering from typhoid in 1885, he retired from preaching and founded the British Weekly, which he edited until his death in 1923. This publication greatly influenced non-conformist churches in England. Shortly after launching the British Weekly Nicoll began releasing the Expositor's Bible volumes, which he oversaw as editor. In 1909 he was knighted by King Edward VII.
