“_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should say, no chance of being superseded by any better book of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.
