The volumes in Bonar’s Light and Truth series comprise of numerous short devotional meditations on different parts of the Bible. Volume two covers the Gospels in 86 chapters..

Horatius Bonar (19 December 1808 - 31 May 1889) was a Scottish churchman and poet.He entered the Ministry of the Church of Scotland. At first he was put in charge of mission work at St. John's parish in Leith and settled at Kelso. He joined the Free Church at the time of the Disruption of 1843, and in 1867 was moved to Edinburgh to take over the Chalmers Memorial Church (named after his teacher at college, Dr. Thomas Chalmers). In 1883, he was elected Moderator of the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland.

While many of his choice devotional works have been reprinted in popular editions, generally mass market paperbacks, his most ambitious work, Light & Truth has been, to now, available only to persistent booklovers with an ample supply of both funds and smiling providences. But now, all five volumes are available.for free in eBook format from Monergism. (other volumes coming soon). The strength of the work is its versatility.  It is sound enough for the study, sweet enough for the closet, and simple enough for the child. The five volumes cover the entire Canon, with the greatest concentration being on the New Testament. Reflecting Bonar's lifetime of study on the prophetic books, an entire volume is devoted to The Revelation.

The five volumes are divided as follows:

1. Old Testament

2. Gospels

3. Acts & Greater Epistles

4. Lesser Epistles

5. The Revelation
