PARABLES OF OUR LORD

[A Selection from a long list, for which see No. 1024].

  1. ANDERSON (CHARLES, M.A.) New Readings of Old Parables. Cr. 8vo. 4/6. Lond., 1876.

    We paid four precious shillings for this book, and find seventy pages of rubbish and fifty more of advertisements. Our readers will, we hope, profit by our experience.

  2. ARNOT (WILLIAM, D.D. Died 1875). The Parables of our Lord. Cr. 8vo. 7/6. Lond., T. Nelson. 1865.

    We do not consider this to be up to our lamented friend's usual high mark of excellence, but it is of great value.

  3. BOURDILLON (FRANCIS, M.A.) The Parables explained and applied Cr. 8vo. 3/6. Lond., Religious Tract Society. [N.D.]

    Sufficiently common and commonplace. Platitudes sleepily worded.

  4. COLLYER (WILLIAM BENGO, D.D.) Lectures on Scripture Parables. 8vo. Lond., 1815. 2/-  

    (See No. 1006).

  5. CUMMING (JOHN, D.D.) Foreshadows; or, Lectures on our Lord's Parables. Cr. 8vo. Lond., 1852. 2/-(See No. 1007).

    The Doctor evidently prints his sermons without much revision. They are pleasing, popular, and (of course) rather prophetic.

  6. GRESWELL (E., B.D.) Exposition of the Parables, &c., 5 vols. in 6, 8vo. Oxf, 1834. 27/-

    A vast heap of learning and language. The work, though padded out, stilted in style, and often fanciful, is a mine for other writers.

  7. GUTHRIE (THOMAS, D.D.) The Parables read in the Light of the Present Day. Cr. 8vo. 3/6. Lond., Strahan. 1874.

    Twelve Parables treated in Dr. Guthrie's lively, sparkling manner. Flowers in abundance.

  8. KEACH (BENJ.) Exposition. Folio. Lond., 1701. S. 10/- also 4 vols., 8vo. S. 10/-  and 1 vol., imp. 8vo. 1856. 10/-.

    Although our honored predecessor makes metaphors run on as many legs as a centipede, he has been useful to thousands. His work is old- fashioned, but it is not to be sneered at.

  9. KNIGHT (JAMES, A.M.) Discourses on the Principal Parables. 8vo. Lond., 1829. 4/6. (See No. 1009).

  10. LISCO (FREDERICK GUSTAV). Parables Explained. Fcap. 8vo. 5/- Edinb., T. & T. Clark. 1840. S. 2/6.

    Largely composed of citations from Luther and Calvin. The remarks will assist in elucidating the design of the parables.

  11. TRENCH (R. C., D.D.) Notes on the Parables. Eleventh edition. 8vo. 12/- Lond., Macmillan & Co. 1870.

    We do not like Trench's theology in many places, but he is a capital writer. The student will find a very complete list of expositions on the Parables in the appendix at the close of Trench's work.

  12. UPJOHN (W.) Discourses on the Parables. 3 vols., sm. 8vo. 1824.

    Earnestly Calvinistic sermons, full of old-fashioned Gospel. Not very original.
