John Gill Pt. 4: His Ministry | Particular Pilgrims

Today, John Gill is predominantly known for his writings. These amounted to over 10,000 folio pages. A folio was the full sheet of paper, 19 by 24 inches, then used by printers. With this quantity of output, no wonder one man gave Gill the nickname, “Dr. Voluminous”. I’ll describe many of his writings in the next few minutes, but what is not usually appreciated is that virtually all of his publications grew out of his pastoral ministry. John Gill was first and foremost a pastor, serving a specific London congregation and from there made connections with other Baptist churches and orthodox Christians. So Gill’s primary work was feeding the Word of God to the flock of God where he had been placed. And he did this with tireless diligence.
