"Dr. Plummer's name is a guarantee for sensible, scholarly work, and his 'Pastoral Epistles' quite maintains its reputation.... It is an admirable example of what popular theology ought to be—presuming a somewhat high level of education and interest in its readers, and built throughout upon sound erudition and sensible, devout, and well-disciplined reflection."—Saturday Review.
"After a short statement of the grounds for believing in the Pauline authorship of these Epistles, the writer takes some of the chief paragraphs of the text, explains their meaning, draws out their historical significance, and concludes with a practical application to modern times of the truths contained in the paragraph. The treatment is throughout scholarlike, lucid, thoughtful."—Guardian.
"The value of the expositions in themselves is much enhanced by the mode in which they are brought to bear on beliefs and practices of the present age."—Literary Churchman.
"Full of life and vigour.... No difficulty in the Epistles is evaded, rather are troublesome passages attacked with keener relish. Dr. Plummer has spared no pains on his task, and has produced what is practically the best commentary we have on these important Epistles."—British Weekly.
"This volume preserves the reputation of its predecessors for being of high artistic merit, in the vividness with which it clothes doctrines and precepts, existing in abstract forms in the Epistles, with the concrete realities of daily needs, brings them to change the metaphor into full harmony with the symphonies of a holy life."—Rock.
"The introductory chapter on the character and genuineness of the Pastoral Epistles' is most masterly and conclusive.... The exposition is marked by sound and painstaking scholarship, sympathetic insight into and careful analysis of the Apostle's thought."—Nonconformist.
"The author of this work is already well known by his excellent volumes on the Gospel and the Epistles of St. John. Among other excellencies in the new volume we may mention the first chapter of the exposition which discusses carefully and attractively the genuineness of the Epistles annotated."—Methodist Tunes.
