LIFE OF CHRIST. The Life of our Lord in the Words of the Gospels. By Frederic Gardiner, D.D., Professor in the Berkeley Divinity School. 16mo. pp. 256. $1.00
“It is well adapted to the convenience of pastors, to the needs of teachers in the Bible-class and Sabbath-school, to the religious instruction of families. It bids fair to introduce improvements into the style of teaching the Bible to the young.”—Bibliotheca Sacra.
“This little volume will not only answer as a Harmony of the Gospels for the use of those who only care to have results, but it will be an excellent book to read at family prayers, or to study with a Bible-class.”—Christian Union.
ELLICOTT’S COMMENTARY, CRITICAL AND GRAMMATICAL, on St. Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians. With an Introductory Notice by C. E. Stowe, Professor in Andover Theological Seminary. 8vo. pp. 183. $1.50.
The Commentaries of Prof. Ellicott supply an urgent want in their sphere of criticism. Prof. Stowe says of them, in his Notice: “It is the crowning excellence of these Commentaries that they are exactly what they profess to be, critical and grammatical, and therefore, in the best sense of the term, exegetical. . . . . . His results are worthy of all confidence. He is more careful than Tischendorf, slower and more steadily deliberate than Alford, and more patiently laborious than any other living New Testament critic, with the exception, perhaps, of Tregelles.”
“They [Ellicott’s Commentaries] have set the first example, in this country, [England] of a thorough and fearless examination of the grammatical and philological requirements of every word of the sacred text. I do not know of anything superior to them, in their own particular line, in Germany; and they add, what, alas! is so seldom found in that country, profound reverence for the matter and subjects on which the author is laboring; nor is their value lessened by Mr. Ellicott’s having confined himself for the most part to one department of a commentator’s work—the grammatical and philological.”—Dean Alford.
“The critical part is devoted to the settling of the text, and this is admirably done, with a labor, skill, and conscientiousness unsurpassed.”—Bib. Sacra.
“We have never met with a learned commentary on any book of the New Testament so nearly perfect in every respect as the ‘Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians,’ by Prof. Ellicott, of King’s College, London,—learned, devout, and orthodox.”—Independent.
“We would recommend all scholars of the original Scriptures who seek directness, luminous brevity, the absence of everything irrelevant to strict grammatical inquiry, with a concise and yet very complete view of the opinions of others, to possess themselves of Ellicott’s Commentaries.”—American Presbyterian.
