Notes on the Gospels, Critical and Explanatory - Incorporating With the Notes, on a New Plan, the Most Approved Harmony of the Four Gospels #229873

This Volume should have sooner followed that on Matthew with the Harmony — especially considering what seemed to be a public call — but that, in the providence of God, the Author's health failed in the midst. This dealing, however, which threatened to forbid all further labors, has rather furnished greater facilities every way — the transfer to a more favoring post, the more abounding helps lately extant, and above all, a most propitious tour through the lands OF the bible. The Author may venture the hope, that these advan tages will not be altogether unapparent to such as may consult the volume. He claims only an earnest desire to promote, especially through Bible Class, Sabbath School, and Family Instruction, the understanding of this glorious Gospel, with the avail of such exten sive materials as have been gathering of late; knowing, that to bring these within the reach of youth, would best make them accessible to all classes. The peculiar feature of incorporating the Harmony with the Notes, is retained, with pleasing evidence of its utility for an understanding of the Gospels. Each caption brings to view the subject of the sec tion, the place of its occurrence, the order in the Harmony, and the parallel passages in the other Evangelists. The number of the sec tion, while it shows the historical order, refers also to the Synopsis of the Harmony, in front of the volume on Matthew.
