NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

"The exposition, based throughout on the Greek text, surveys with
minuteness the words, phrases, and construction, bringing out the sense
specially and generally, tracing the apostle's arguments, and unfolding
his views on the diversified subjects which the epistle embraces.
Fulness of comment characterizes the work. Variations of the original
text, grammar, syntax, usage of words, enter into the expositor's plan,
as well as the doctrinal views of the sacred writer. We have been
pleased to see so much good exposition from one who has used many
sources with independence, and advanced far beyond any English
commentator in correct explanation of the epistle."--_Athenaeum._

"An important feature is the sketch given in the Introduction of the
Commentaries on First Corinthians, from the earliest times to our own
day. The Commentary itself is learned, clear, impartial, and based on an
ample knowledge of preceding writers."--_Academy._

"We refer to the truly masterly exposition of the history of
interpretation from its beginning to our day in Edwards' introduction to
his Commentary.... The author of this Commentary possesses high
philological culture. The spirit and value of his exegesis will appear
from the quotations which we shall not fail to make from his important
work."--PROFESSOR GODET'S Introduction to his _Commentary on First
Corinthians_.

"It is with the utmost satisfaction that we welcome the appearance of a

highest standard, if, indeed, it does not even raise the standard by
which exegetical work is measured. Such books as this which we now
receive from Principal Edwards, make room for themselves, and disclose
unthought of possibilities of exposition. There is apparent a
combination of gifts, any of which singly would make the fortune of a
commentator. His knowledge of Greek, and familiarity with both classical
and patristic literature, are worthy of one who professes himself the
friend and pupil of Prof. Jowett. To the use of the highest linguistic
authorities he has brought a fineness of grammatical and lexical
discernment which enables him to criticise and sometimes to correct
their judgments. But the great merit of the commentary is that the
reader finds himself in contact with the mind of Paul, and not merely
examining an old-world document. All is thought out beforehand, and
compact
