They are diffuse, but not more so than family reading requires. Mr. Ryle has evidently studied all previous writers upon the Gospels, and has given forth an individual utterance of considerable value.’ — C.H.

C. Ryle’s series of \u003ci\u003eExpository Thoughts on the Gospels\u003c\/i\u003e (1856). Ryle’s expositions are a rich combination of doctrinal and practical comments on the Gospel text. Ryle’s \u003ci\u003eExpository Thoughts\u003c\/i\u003e can be used as a help in family worship, or as an aid in pastoral visitation, or simply as a companion to the Gospels in the private reading of Scripture. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGospel of Mark – 1 Volume \u003c\/strong\u003eFirst published in 1857, Mark was the second book to appear in J. C. Ryle’s series of \u003ci\u003eExpository Thoughts on the Gospels.\u003c\/i\u003e The earliest of the Gospel narratives to be written, Mark, says Ryle, ‘is singularly full of precious facts about the Lord Jesus, narrated in a simple, terse, pithy, and condensed style’. Those last four adjectives could well be used to describe Ryle’s own comments on the Gospel! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGospel of Luke – 2 Volumes \u003c\/strong\u003eWithin a year of publishing \u003ci\u003eMark\u003c\/i\u003e in his \u003ci\u003eExpository Thoughts on the Gospels \u003c\/i\u003eseries, J. C. Ryle had, in 1858, completed the Gospel of Luke. Written specifically for a non-Jewish readership, Luke’s Gospel is perhaps the most ‘accessible’ of the narratives of the life of Christ for modern readers. Ryle’s desire for his readers mirrors that of Luke \u003ci\u003eLuke 1:4),\u003c\/i\u003e that they might gain ‘a more clear knowledge of Christ, as a living person, a living priest, a living physician, a living friend, a living advocate at the right hand of God, and a living Saviour soon about to come again’. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGospel of John – 3 Volumes ‘\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Gospel of St. John, rightly interpreted, is the best and simplest answer to those who profess to admire a vague and indistinct Christianity.’ There were many such in J. C. Ryle’s day, as in our own, and these final three volumes of his \u003ci\u003eExpository Thoughts on the Gospels \u003c\/i\u003eseries provide a detailed commentary upon, and ‘right interpretation’ of the fourth Gospel. In these volumes Ryle shows again that, as in all his writing and preaching, he was first and foremost a pastor, and as J. I. Packer has pointed out, ‘alongside the question “Is it true?” the question “What effect will this have on ordinary people?” was always in his mind’.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Banner of Truth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55011326787964,"sku":"","price":93.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0297\/3866\/3995\/files\/Expository-thoughts-set.jpg?v=1741636843","url":"https:\/\/www.evangelicalbooks.com\/products\/expository-thoughts-on-the-gospels-7-vol-set","provider":"Evangelical Book Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
