PARABLES OF OUR LORD.

[A Selection from a long list, for which see No. 1024].

1014 ANDERSON (CHARLES, M.A.) New Readings of Old Parables.

Cr. 8vo.

4/6. Lond., 1876.

We paid four precious shillings for this book, and find seventy pages of rubbish and fifty more of advertisements. Our readers will, we hope, profit by our experience.

1015 ARNOT (WILLIAM, D.D. Died 1875). The Parables of our Lord. Cr. 8vo. 7/6. Lond., T. Nelson. I865.

We do not consider this to be up to our lamented friend’s usual high mark of excellence, but it is of great value.

1016 BOURDILLON (FRANCIS, M.A.) The Parables explained and applied Cr. 8vo. 3/6. Lond., Religious Tract Society. [N.D.] Sufficiently common and commonplace. Platitudes sleepily worded.

10I7 COLLYER (WILLIAM BENGO, D.D.) Lectures on Scripture Parables. 8vo. Lond., I815. 2/- (See No. IOO6).

1018 CUMMING (JoaN, D.D.) Foreshadows; or, Lectures on our Lord’s Parables. Cr. 8vo. Lond., 1852. 2/- (See No. 1007). The Doctor evidently prints his sermons without much revision. They axe pleasing, popular, and (of course) rather prophetic.

1019 GRESWELL (E., B.D.) Exposition of the Parables, &e- 5 vols. in 6, 8vo. Oxf, x834. 27/- A vast heap of learning and language. The work, though padded out, stilted in style, and often fanciful, is a mine for other writers.

GUTHRIE (THOMAS, D.D.) The Parables read in the Light of the Present Day. Cr. 8vo. 3/6. Lond., Strahan. x874.

Twelve Parables treated in Dr. Guthrie’s lively, sparkling manner Flowers in abundance.

KEACH (BENJ.) Exposition. Folio. Lond., 1701. S. 10/-, also 4 vols., 8vo. S. 10/-; and x vol., imp. 8vo. 1856. 10/-.4.although our honored predecessor makes metaphors run on as many legs: as a centipede, he has been useful to thousands. His work is old-fashioned, but it is not to be sneered at.

1022 KNIGHT (]’AMES, A.M.) Discourses on the Principal Parables.

8vo.

Lond., I829. 4/6. (See No. 1009).

1023 LISCO (FREDERICK GUSTAV). Parables Explained. Fcap.

8vo. 5/- Edinb., T. & T. Clark. 184o. S. 2/–.

Largely composed of citations from Luther and Calvin. The remarks will assist in elucidating the design of the parables.

TRENCH (R. C., D.D.) Notes on the Parables. Eleventh edition. 8vo. i2/- Lond., Macmillan & Co. I87O. We do not like Trench’s theology in many places, but he is a capital writer. The student will find a very complete list of expositions on the Parables in the appendix at the close of Trench’s work.

1025 UPJOHN (W.) Discourses on the Parables. 3 vols., sm. 8vo. I824.

Earnestly Calvinistic sermons, full of old-fashioned Gospel. Not very original.
