The Works of Hugh Binning (1858) consists of a series of magisterial addresses on the Common Principles of the Christian religion, a series of 40 sermons on Romans 8 entitled "The Sinner's Sanctuary", a series on I John, and miscellaneous other addresses, amongst them a delightful "Treatise on Christian Love."

Binning is both stimulation for the mind and food for the soul. It is a great benefit to the entire Christian Church that this volume is being made available again, and I warmly commend it (Eric Alexander, from the Introduction to the out of print Soli Deo Gloria edition).

Of Hugh Binning, David Lachman writes, "Binning's more simple and natural preaching, coupled with considerable eloquence, a warm practical piety and skillful application to his hearers' hearts, made him a most popular preacher. James Durham commented: 'There is no speaking after Mr Binning.'

Binning's preaching was warmly evangelical, urging sinners to come to Christ without previous preparations, which he described as a form of establishing our own righteousness and being ignorant of Christ's... He took the side of the Protesters in the division in the (Scottish -RB) Church, but in that controversy as well as in that with the Independents maintained a conciliatory spirit; in that context he wrote his Treatise of Christian Love" (Dictionary of Scottish Church History and Theology, p. 77).
