Vol 04 - GALATIANS.

GALATIANS.

[Do not forget to consult works from No. 1140 to 1155.] 1211 BAGGE (HENRY T. J., B.A.) Galatians. 8vo. Land., 1856. S. 3/ Simply a revised text and critical notes.

BAYLEY (SIR E.) Commentary on Galatians. Thick post 8vo. 7/6. Lond, Nisbet. I869. S. 3/-

Upon each portion there is a commentary, a paraphrase, and a sermon, and thus the author conveys a considerable amount of instruction. He is thoroughly evangelical, and his style clear.

1213 BROWN (JOHN, D.D. Edinburgh). Exposition of Galatians. 8vo. Edinb., I853. S. 6/- Brown is a modern Puritan. All his expositions are of the utmost value. The volume on Galatians is one of the scarcest books in the market.

1214 CALVIN (JOHN). Forty-two Sermons on Galatians 4:1-31 to. Land., 1574. [A different work from his Commentary.] EADIE (JOHN, D.D.) Commentary on the Greek Text of Galatians. 8va.

10/6. Edinb., Clark. 1869. S. 7/6. This is a most careful attempt to ascertain the meaning of the Apostle by a painstaking analysis of his words. The author is not warped by any system of theology, but yet he does not deviate from recognized evangelical truth. As a piece of honest grammatical exegesis the value of this commentary is very great, though there is room to differ from it here and there.

I216 EDMUNDS (JOHN, M.A.) Galatians. With Explanatory Notes.

Crown 8va. Edinb., Oliver & Boyd. 1874.

Thoroughly ritualistic. See remarks on this author’s work on Thessalonians.

GODWIN (JOHN H.) Galatians. Translation, with Notes and Doctrinal Lessons. Cr. 8va. 3/- Land., Hodder. 1871. A helpful translation, with good textual notes.

HALDANE (JAMES ALEXANDER. 1768 — 1851). Exposition of Galatians. 12mo. 1848. 2/6. This work has never been popular, because the author in the third chapter discusses the question of baptism. This is a fault of which we may say as the Papist said of venial sin: “It deserved to be forgiven.”

1219 HAWKER (JOHN, M.A.) Bible Thoughts in Quiet Hours.

Commentary on Galatians 2:1-21/- Lond., Yapp & Hawkins. x874.

These “thoughts” are sound and edifying. The book does not profess to be a thorough exposition.

1220 KELLY (WILLIAM). Lectures on Galatians. 12mo. I/6 and 2/-

Land., G. Morrish. [N.D.J Mr. Kelly’s authoritative style has no weight with us. We do not call these lectures expounding, but confounding.

1221 LANGE (J.P.) Commentary on Galatians, by Otto Schmoller, Ph.D.

Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians, by Karl Braune, D.D. (Seepage 19.)

1222 LIGHTFOOT (J. B., D.D., Canon of St. Paul’s). Gala-tians. Revised Text, with Introductions, Notes, and Dissertations. 8va. 12/- Land., Macmillan. 1874. The Spectator says: “There is no commentator at once of sounder judgment, and more liberal, than Dr. Lightfoot.”

1223 LUSHINGTON (THOMAS. Died 1661. The Justification of a Sinner: the Main Argument of the Epistle to the Galatians. Folio. I65o. 5/6. A translation from Crellius, a Socinian divine, made by Lushington, who was far gone towards the same error. We mention the book to warn our readers of its character; for bad works of the Puritan period are few.

1224 LUTHER (MARTIN). Commentary on Galatians.

[Numerous editions — folio, quarto, and octavo.]

“I prefer this book of Martin Luther’s (except the Bible) before all the books that / have ever seen, as most fit far a wounded conscience.” —

Bunyan. This is a great historic work, and is beyond criticism, on account of its great usefulness. As a comment its accuracy might be questioned; but for emphatic utterances and clear statements of the great doctrine of the Epistle it remains altogether by itself, and must be judged per se.

1225 OLSHAUSEN (H., D.D.) Commentary on Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, and Thessalonians. 8vo. 10/6. Edinb., T. & T. Clark. 1851 (For remarks, see No. 964.)

PEARSON (SAMUEL, Minister of Gt. George St. Chapel, Liverpool). Sermons on Galatians. Cr. 8vo. 3/6. Lond., Clarke. x874.

Discourses worthy of the successor of Spencer and Raffies.

1227 PERKINS (WILLIAM. 1558 — 1602.) Commentarie on the First Five Chapters of Galatians, with a Supplement on the Sixth Chapter, by Ralfe Cudworth. Thick 4to. x6o4. 2/6 to 4/- Perkins was justly esteemed by his cotemporaries as a master in theology. This commentary is deeply theological, and reads like a body of divinity: truth compels us to confess that we find it dull.

1228 PRIDHAM (A.) Galatians. Cr. 8vo. 5/- Zonal., Nisbet. 1872.

Pridham is, we suppose, of the moderate Brethren school, but he is not carried away by any theory, being essentially a man of sober mind.
