LIVES OF THE APOSTLES &C
1091. KITTO (JOHN, D.D.) "The Apostles and the Early Church."
Daily Bible Illustrations. (See No. 41.)
1092. BAUR (FERDINAND CHRISTIAN, D.D.) Paul, his Life and Works. From the German. 2 vols., 8vo. 21/-Lond., William & Norgates. 1873—75.
Of the very Broad Church school. Not at all to our mind.
1093. BEVAN (JOSEPH GURNEY). Life of Paul. 8vo. Lond., 1807. 2/-
For the Society of Friends. Contains nothing which adds to our information upon 'the life of Paul. It may have been useful in its day, but it is superseded.
1094. BINNEY (THOMAS, D.D.) Paul: his Life and Ministry. Cr. 8vo. 5/-Lond., Nisbet. 1870.
Mr. Binney says, "This work is strictly an outline of' the life of St. Paul, and it is nothing more." It is a capital preparation for reading Lewin and Conybeare and Howson.
1095. BLUNT (HENRY, A.M.) Lectures upon the History of St. Paul. 2 vols., 12mo. Sixth edition. Lond., 1835. 2/6.
Printed in such large and widely-leaded type that a very little matter goes a long way. Very good, but not striking.
1096. CONYBEARE (W. J., M.A.) and HOWSON (J. S., D.D., Dean of Chester). Life and Epistles of St. Paul. Library edition. 2vols., 4to. 48/-Intermediate edition, 2vols., sq. cr. 8vo. 21/- Student's edition, condensed, 1 vol., cr. 8vo. 9/- Lond., Macmillan & Co.
Far superior to any other work on the subject. It stands like some o'ertopping Alp, a marvel among Scriptural biographies. We have not space to mention Howson's minor works connected with Paul, but they are all good.
1097. EADIE (JOHN, D.D., LLD.) Paul, the Preacher. An Exposition of his Discourses and Speeches, as recorded in the Acts. Cr. 8vo. Lond., Griffin. 1859. S. 3/6.
Designed to give ordinary readers a juster and fuller conception of the doctrine and life-work of the apostle.,4 n able work
1098. LEWIN (THOMAS, M.A., F.S.A., Barrister-at-Law). Life and Epistles of St. Paul. Second edition, much enlarged. 2 vols., demy 4to. 42/- Lond., G. Bell & Sons. 1875. [Second-hand copies of first edition, 1851. 6/- to 9/-]
Dr. Gloag in his Commentary on the Acts says: "Two works are especially instructive, and deserve careful perusal. The Life and Epistles of St. Paul, by Lewin, and the classical work on the same subject by Conybeare and Howson. In the former the historical connections of the Acts are chiefly stated, and in the latter its geographical relations."
1099. LYTTLETON (GEORGE, LORD). Observations on the Conversion and Apostleship of St. Paul. In a letter to Gilbert West, Esq. 8vo. Lond., 1747. [Numerous editions. The Tract Society's edition. Fcap. 8vo. 3/']
Gilbert West and his friend Lord Lyttleton, both men of acknowledged talents, had imbibed the principles of infidelity from a superficial view of the Scriptures. Fully persuaded that the Bible was an imposture, they were determined to expose the cheat. Air. West chose the Resurrection of Christ, and Lord Lyttleton the Conversion of St. Paul, for the subject of hostile criticism. Both sat down to their respective tasks, full of prejudice, and a contempt for Christianity. The result of their separate attempts was that they were both converted by their endeavors to overthrow the truth of Christianity! They came together, not as they expected, to exult over an imposture exposed to ridicule, but to lament their folly, and to congratulate each other on their joint conviction, that the Bible was the word of God. Their able enquiries have furnished two most valuable treatises in favor of revelation; one, entitled "Observations on the Conversion of St. Paul," and the other, "Observations on the Resurrection of Christ."
1100. MACDUFF (J. R., D.D.) St. Paul in Rome. Cr. 8vo. 4/6. Lond., Nisbet. 1871. S. 2/6.
Sermons preached in Rome, into which are ably introduced eloquent mention of the existing traditions and remains which associate the Apostle with that great city.
1101. BISCOE (RICHARD, M.A.,—Preb. of St. Paul's. Died 1748). History of the Acts of the Apostles. Confirmed from other Authors, and considered as full evidence of the Truth of Christianity. 8vo. Oxf., 1840. 4/- 1132
1102. PALEY (WILLIAM, D.D. 1743—1805). Horse Paulinae. Numerous editions. The Religious Tract Society publishes the Horae Paulinae, with Notes, and Horse Apostolicae, by Rev. T. Birks. 12mo. 3/-
1103. TATE (JAMES, Canon of St.-Paul's). The Horae Paulinae carried out and illustrated. 8vo. Lond., 1840.
Though not commentaries, the three works just mentioned are sources of information not to be neglected by the student of the Acts.
1104. RIVINGTON (FRANCIS). Life and Writings of St. Paul. Cr. 8vo. 5/-Lond., Sampson Low & Co. 1874. S. 2/-
Nobody possessing Conybeare and Howson will need this work, though in the absence of better this would have been serviceable.
1105. SMITH (THORNLEY). Saul of Tarsus. 2/-and 2/6. Lond., J, Blackwood & Co. S. 1/3.
Thornley Smith always deserves attentive reading.

1108. KRUMMACHER (F. W., D.D.) St. John the Evangelist. 12mo. Bib. Cabinet. Edinb., T. & T. Clark. S. 3/-
The author's name is a sufficient guarantee. He has also written on Cornelius and Stephen.
