Alexander Maclaren byl anglický protestantský kazatel skotského původu.

Dvakrát byl prezidentem Baptistické unie Spojeného království a předsedou Baptistického světového kongresu v Londýně v roce 1905. Dostal čestný doktorát teologie z Edinburské univerzity a z univerzity Glasgowě.

Z jeho díla stojí za zmínku rozsáhlé komentáře k některým biblickým knihám - například k Lukášovu evangeliu, Žalmům a proroctvím Izaiáše a Jeremiáše. Komentáře se skládají z kratších částí - kázání a komentářů k jednotlivým veršům - například komentář k oddílu Římanům 12:9-10 tvoří kázání Láska, která dokáže nenávidět.

„Existují celé školy názorů, které ze svého ideálu Božské přirozenosti prakticky vyškrtávají Boží odpor ke zlu, a tím, ač si to neuvědomují, svůj ideál Boha fatálně ochuzují, a znemožňují tak pochopení Jeho vlády nad světem.“

„Lék na malichernou žárlivost a ubohé boje o uznání, k účasti na nichž jsme všichni sváděni, spočívá v srdci naplněném milováním bratří kvůli jeho lásce vůči Staršímu Bratru jich všech a k Otci, který je Jeho Otcem – stejně jako naším.“

“It is not my strength that grows, so much as God's strength in me, which is given more abundantly as the days roll. It is so given on one condition. If my faith has laid hold of the infinite, the exhaustless, the immortal energy of God, unless there is something fearfully wrong about me, I shall be getting purer, nobler, wiser, more observant of His will; gentler, like Christ; every way fitter for His service, and for larger service, as the days increase.”

“I will guide thee with mine eye " — a glance, not a blow — a look of directing love that at once heartens to duty, and tells duty. We must be very near Him to catch that look, and very much in sympathy with Him to understand it; but when we do, we must be swift to obey.”

“All true love to God is preceded in the heart by these two things — a sense of sin, and an assurance of pardon. There is no love possible — real, deep, genuine, worthy of being called love of God — which does not start with the belief of my own transgression, and with the thankful reception of forgiveness in Christ.”

“The sum of the whole matter is this — He who is one in will and heart with God is a Christian. He who loves God is one in will and heart with Him. He who trusts Christ loves God. That is Christianity in its ultimate purpose and result. That is Christianity in its means and working forces. That is Christianity in its starting-point and foundation.”

“Grieve not the Christ of God, who redeems us; and remember that we grieve Him most when we will not let Him pour His love upon us, but turn a sullen, unresponsive unbelief towards His pleading grace, as some glacier shuts out the sunshine from the mountain-side with its thick-ribbed ice.”
