“There is not a better companion to be found for the season than the beautiful ‘Devotional Commentary on the Gospel Narrative,’ by the Rev. Isaac Williams.... A rich mine for devotional and theological study.”—Guardian.
“So infinite are the depths and so innumerable the beauties of Scripture, and more particularly of the Gospels, that there is some difficulty in describing the manifold excellences of Williams’ exquisite Commentary. Deriving its profound appreciation of Scripture from the writings of the early Fathers, it is only what every student knows must be true to say that it extracts a whole wealth of meaning from each sentence, each apparently faint allusion, each word in the text.”—Church Review.
“Stands absolutely alone to our English literature; there is, we should say, no chance of being superseded by any better book of its kind; and its merits are of the very highest order.”—Literary Churchman.
“It would be difficult to select a more useful present, at a small cost, than this series would be to a young man on his first entering into Holy Orders, and many, no doubt, will avail themselves of the republication of these useful volumes for this purpose. There is an abundance of sermon material to be drawn from any one of them.”—Church Times.
“This is, in the truest sense of the word, a ‘Devotional Commentary’ on the Gospel narrative, opening out everywhere, as it does, the spiritual beauties and blessedness of the Divine message; but it is something more than this, it meets difficulties almost by anticipation, and throws the light of learning over some of the very darkest passages in the New Testament.”—Rock.
“The author has skilfully compared and blended the narratives of the different Gospels, so as to give a synoptical view of the history; and though the commentary is called ‘devotional,’ it is scholarly and suggestive in other respects. The size of the work, extending, as it does, over eight volumes, may deter purchasers and readers; but each volume is complete in itself, and we recommend students to taste a sample of the author’s quality. Some things they may question; but the volumes are really a helpful and valuable addition to our stores.”—Freeman.
“The high and solemn verities of the Saviour’s sufferings and death are treated with great reverence and ability. The thorough devoutness which pervades the book commends it to our heart. There is much to instruct and help the believer in the Christian life, no matter to what section of the Church he may belong.”—Watchman.
