EPHESIANS.

[See also under Apostolical Epistles.] BAYNE (PAUL, A.M. Puritan. Died 1617). Commentary on Ephesians.

Folio. 1643, etc. 6/- [Reprinted in Nichol’s Commentaries. Cr. 4to. 7/6. Lond., Nisbet. 1866.] Sibbes says of this Work: “The greatest shall find matter to exercise themselves in; the meaner, matter of sweet comfort and holy instruction; and all confess that he hath brought some light to this Scripture.”

1230 CALVIN (JOHN). Sermons on Ephesians, Translated by A. Golding. Black Letter. 4to. Lond., 1577. 9/’ Not the same as the exposition. The Sermons are priceless.

EADIE (JOHN, D.D.) Commentary on the Greek text of Ephesians. 8vo. I4/. Lond., Griffin. 1861. S. 7/6. “This book is one of prodigious learning and research. The author seems to have read all, in every language, that has been written upon the Epistle. It is also a work of’ independent criticism, and casts much new light uponMan 1:7passages.”

GRAHAM (WILLIAM, D.D., of Bonn, Prussia). Lectures on Ephesians. Cr. 8vo. 7/6. Lond., Partridge & Co. x87o. Dr. Graham is an earnest opponent of the German Neologians anti frequently writes with their negations be/ore his eye. He is a commentator of considerable learning and much spirituality of mind. - 1233 HEMMINGE (NICHOLAS, D.D.) Commentary on Ephesians, translated.

4to. Land., I581 (See No. 553.) 1234 HODGE (CHARLES, D.D.) Commentary on Ephesians.

Cr. 8vo. 3/6. Zonal., Nisbet. 1870.

Most valuable. With no writer do we more fully agree.

1235 KELLY (W.) Lectures. 12mo. 2/- Land., G. Morrish. (See No. 1256).

1236 LATHROP (JOSEPH, D.D., of America. I73t — I82o). Exposition of the Epistle to the Ephesians, in a Series of Discourses.

Thick 8vo. Philadelphia, I864.

These discourses are sure to be of the highest class. We have not been able to procure a copy.

M’GHEE (R.,A.M., M.R.I.A.) Lectures on Ephesians 2:1-22 vols.,

8vo. Fourth edition. Lond., Saunders & Otley. 1861. S. 10/6. Lively, warmhearted, extemporaneous sermons, full of good teaching. The preacher aimed to edify the many, rather than to write a critical work for the few, and he has succeeded.

NEWLAND (HENRY, M.A) A New Catena of St. Paul’s Epistles.

Commentary on Ephesians, in which is exhibited the Results of the most learned Theological Criticisms, from the Age of the Early Fathers down to the Present Time. 8vo. 7/6. Zonal., J. Parker & Co. x866. S. 3/-

Used discreetly, this Catena of patristic, mediaeval, and modern Church interpreters, may be very helpful; without discretion it will mislead.

1239 PATTISON (R.E., D.D., late Pres. of Waterville Col.)

Commentary on Ephesians. 8vo. Boston, U.S. I859. A book to instruct intelligent, experienced believers. It is a model for a class-book, plain and yet profound.

I240 PERCEVAL (A. P.) Lectures on Ephesians. 12mo. Lond., 1846. 1/6.

Good, but not likely to produce headache by overloading the brain with thought.

1241 PRIDHAM (A.) Ephesians. 12mo. 4/6. Lond., Yapp. S. 2/6. Style heavy, matter weighty.

PULSFORD (JohN). Christ and his Seed; Central to all things: being a Series of Expository Discourses on Paul’s Epistle to the Ephesians 4:1-32 to.

8/6. Lond., Hamilton, Adams & Co. 1872. Contains a great deal of deep thought, but is too mystical and often too cloudy to be of much service to those who wish to explain Scripture.

1243 RIDLEY (LANcELoT. About x54o.) Commentaries on Ephesians, Philippians, and part of Jude. [Reprinted in Richmond’s Fathers.]

John Bale wrote in 1543: “The Commentary which that virtuous, learned man, Master Lancelot Ridley, made upon St. Paul’s Epistle to the Ephesians, for the true erudttion of his Christian brethren, hath my Lord Bonner here also condemned for heresy. But what the cause is I cannot tell, unless it be for advancing the Gospel as the thing whereby we are made righteous.” Our author is equally fierce against Anabaptists and Papists, but is not much of a commentator.

1244 TURNER (SAMUEL H., D.D.) Ephesians, in Greek and English; with Analysis and Commentary. 8vo. New York, 1856. A learned American work; good, but not very attractive.

EVANS (JAMES HARRINGTON, A.M. 1785 — 1849). Christian Solicitude, as exemplified in Ephesians III. 16mo. Lond., J. F. Shaw. x856.

S. 1/3.

Harrington Evans was a great teacher. A more sound, earnest, and instructive divine never lived. This book consists of notes of sermons preserved by a hearer. It is well worthy of study. His Memoir contains fragmentary remarks upon Ephesians I.

I246 ROLLOCK (ROBERT. I855 — 1598). An Exposition of part of the rift and sixt chapters of S. Pavle’s Epistle to the Ephesians 4:1-32 to.

Lond., 163o. !In a volume containing sundry fragments of Expositions.]

12/ This renowned Scotchman’s writings generally come to us as translations from the Latin, and have been made preternaturally dull in the process of interpretation; but this appears to have been written in English by himself.

It is practical to a high degree, and goes into minute details of the married life, etc. It will not be much appreciated in these days, though Dr. McCrie styles Rollock’s works “succinct and judicious.”
