C. Ryle had, in 1858, completed the Gospel of Luke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mti_font_element\"\u003eThis was a much more ‘substantial’ commentary than the earlier ones on Matthew and Mark, and comprehensive ‘explanatory notes’ were appended to the author’s ‘thoughts’ on each passage of Scripture. The purpose of the notes was four-fold-(i) to ‘throw light on difficulties’ in the text; (ii) to provide literal meanings and comparative translations of certain of the Greek words used by Luke; (iii) to quote what other ‘approved writers’ had said on particular passages; and (iv) to use Scripture to ‘combat existing false doctrines and heresies’. Because of this, the \u003ci class=\"mti_font_element\"\u003eExpository Thoughts on the Luke \u003c\/i\u003e were – and are in this new edition – presented in two volumes, the first covering Luke chapters 1-10, the second chapters 11-24.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mti_font_element\"\u003eWritten 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 \u003ci class=\"mti_font_element\"\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","brand":"Banner of Truth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31735468261435,"sku":null,"price":12.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0297\/3866\/3995\/products\/9781848711310.jpg?v=1741361773","url":"https:\/\/www.evangelicalbooks.com\/products\/luke-vol-1","provider":"Evangelical Book Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
