Description
Ryle’s commentary on Luke was 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: 1st, to ‘throw light on difficulties’ in the text 2nd, to provide literal meanings and comparative translations of certain of the Greek words used by Luke. 3rd, to quote what other ‘approved writers’ had said on particular passages. 4th, to use Scripture to ‘combat existing false doctrines and heresies’. Because of this, the Expository Thoughts on Luke were – and are in this new edition – presented in two volumes, the first covering Luke chapters 1-10, the second chapters 11-24.
