Christian.—“If the volumes to come be like the one before us they may be sure of a warm welcome. Dr. Chadwick has caught something of the vividness of style and onward rush which characterise the writer he expounds. Sober in judgment, markedly Scriptural in tone, well acquainted with exegetical lore, and qualified by patient investigations to give an individual opinion on disputed points, he makes good his claim to help and instruct students of Mark’s Gospel.”
Methodist Recorder.—“We are glad to say that the beginning of a very promising series is, in our opinion, distinctly good, and that Dean Chadwick has hit the mark specially aimed at exceedingly well. We have found ourselves many sparkling and memorable sentences in his pages. We hope the ‘Expositor’s Bible’ has many other volumes in store as instructive as the first instalment.”
Expositor.—“Dean Chadwick’s readers, even in the first pages, become aware that they are in the company of a thoroughly original writer, who repeats nothing, echoes nothing, imitates no one. It is with a feeling of thankfulness his readers follow him from passage to passage of the Gospel, finding new truth in familiar words and incidents, and, unable to confine themselves to the limits they had set for their day’s reading, are lured on to trespass on to-morrow’s portion. There is every quality here that is desirable in an expositor—reverence for his text, sufficient information about it, sympathetic insight, and keen observation of men and manners. Equally successful in opening up the significance of the text and in applying it to present conditions of life, Dean Chadwick has given us an admirable specimen of what an expositor’s Bible should be.”
London Quarterly Review.—“Dr. Chadwick’s exposition is thoughtful and penetrating; his sentences are sharp and crisp.... Often bright aphoristic sayings occur which are likely to print themselves on the memory of the reader. The expositor would almost seem to resemble his subject in the practical and condensed, yet graphic, style in which he has done his expository work.”
Rock.—“The style of the commentary is, like its subject, forcible and terse.”
Church Bells.—“We have never yet read any commentary which we liked so well. The preacher will find it full of materials for sermons, fresh and vigorous, and yet calm and well-weighed.”
