"This appears to be the performance of a sensible man, who desires to deliver the true sense of Scripture as far as he can attain it, and to advance the cause of piety among men. His method is, to lay a small number of verses before the reader at one view, in which are inserted a few words to illustrate and explain them, and then he adds several observations upon the sense of the passage, with some practical remarks. On the whole, this paraphrase, not abounding in criticism, as some might expect, appears to be a candid, well-meant, practical, and useful performance." (Monthly Review, O. S. vol. xlv. pp. 400, 401.) What further recommends this useful work is, the low price at which it may frequently be procured, it having been frequently reprinted.

"While possessing merit of a high order, it is entirely free from display. The simplicity of the author's plan, and the extremely judicious manner in which he has executed it, entitle him to a measure of our praise which we have not often an occasion of awarding.” (Eclectic Review, N. S. vol. xxiii. p. 72.) See also the Quarterly Theological Review, vol. ii. pp. 72-76.

118. Notes on the Epistle to the Romans, intended to assist Students in Theology, and others, who read the Scriptures in the Originals. By Samuel H. TURNER, D.D. New York, 1824. 8vo.

These "Notes" are strictly exegetical, not polemical; and are designed to explain the force and connection of St. Paul's arguments. This object is completely attained by Professor Turner, who has made considerable use of the labours of the German biblical critics, against whose extravagant interpretations and critiques he has, very properly, cautioned his readers. A translation of Koppe's Latin Introduction to the Epistle to the Romans is prefixed; and the work concludes with a well-written" Essay for the consideration of Theological Students."

119. The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans; with an Introduction, Paraphrase, and Notes. By C. H. TERROT, A.M. London, 1828. 8vo. The design of this publication is, to bring together such information as may assist young students of divinity, in obtaining a right understanding of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans. By way of apparatus towards an examination of the Epistle, the author has prefixed, 1. A Chronological Table of the Acts of that Apostle, abridged from Bishop Pearson's Annales Paulini; 2. A brief Exposition of the occasion, date, and genuineness of the Epistle; 3. An Analysis of its contents; 4. A Critical Inquiry into the meaning of the theological terms, which in our authorised version are rendered justify and justification, faith, law, and works of the law, flesh, and impute; and, 5. A List of all the Passages of the Old Testament quoted in the Epistle to the Romans. The Greek text follows, according to Dr. Knappe's third edition (Halæ, 1824), and on the opposite page is given the author's paraphrase. The volume concludes with a collection of notes, in the composition of which Mr. Terrot has availed himself of the previous works of the most distinguished British commentators and divines, and also of the philological labours of the most eminent continental critics. "This work derives its chief commendation, not so much for what it has accomplished, as for the plan of study which it opens up to the young divine; shewing, by a very successful example, the aid which may be brought to theological investigation from the stores of general literature, and especially from those other sources where the fruit of the tree of knowledge is not altogether unmixed." (British Critic, April, 1829. vol. v. p. 346.)

120. A Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans, with a Translation and various Excursus. By Moses STUART, Professor of Sacred Literature in the Theological Seminary at Andover. Andover [Massachussetts], 1832. Reprinted, London, 1833. Second Edition, Andover, 1835. Reprinted as a third Edition, London, 1836. 8vo.

"If candour, integrity of purpose, and apostolic piety, united to deep research, persevering industry, and varied erudition, could qualify any man for the task of translating and expounding critically the most difficult of the Pauline Epistles, we believe that Professor Stuart possesses these endowments. Whatever be the errors in his work—and our author is the last man to claim infallibility-they arise from the general infirmity of human nature; they are not introduced either to support the views of a polemical partisan, or to maintain the hypothesis of an obstinate disputant. The publication before us is eminently distinguished both for repeated acknowledgment of all the difficulties attendant upon the respective interpretations of the "vexati loci," and for unwearied patience in disentangling the web in which controversialists have loved to involve this sublime epistle." "Mr. Stuart is original both in his translations and his comments. He at one time objects to Calvin, at another to Arminius: and we do not think that any partisan will have reason to quarrel with the Professor for a blind adherence to any set of opinions.' (British Critic, for October, 1833. pp. 430, 431.)

"The Translation is couched in elegant language, and divided with great care into sections, each of which has an appropriate, if not perfectly correct, title, and is subdivided into paragraphs as the sense requires. A great deal of the obscurity of the epistle, as it stands in the common version, is removed by the hypothesis that in chapter iii., and in several other places, Saint Paul quotes and answers a supposed objector. The queries and objections thus quoted and answered, Mr. Stuart has distinguished by quotation marks, which render the epistle at once more interesting and more intelligible. Mr. Stuart has also rendered the particles so skilfully, as to give the whole epistle the appearance, not of a parcel of disjecta membra, accidentally thrown together, but of a connected and orderly treatise. He has also given a faithful representation of the original, as regards the use of the article. The Commentary is a work of great labour. The author seems seldom to have contented himself with second-hand observations, but to have consulted for himself all original authorities, and to have faithfully prepared himself to meet any probable or possible objection to his own views." (American Monthly Review, Nov. 1832, vol. ii. p. 393.)

This Commentary and Excursus are filled with interesting and valuable information. The work is intended for young students in divinity, and therefore we meet often with minute criticisms, which to the matured scholar and theologian may appear unnecessary, but which will be found highly useful to the beginner, as they will draw his attention to nice points of theology, and so tend to give him accuracy as well as extent of knowledge.

The London impression of 1833 is handsomely and very correctly printed under the editorial care of the Rev. Drs. J. P. Smith and E. Henderson.

122. Exposition of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans; with Extracts from the Exegetical Works of the Fathers and Reformers. Translated from the original German of Dr. Fred. Aug. Gotttreu THOLUCK, Professor of Theology in the Royal University of Halle. By the Rev. Robert MENZIES. Edinburgh, 1833-36. 2 vols. 12mo.

This work forms Vols V. and XII. of the Edinburgh Biblical Cabinet. The learned author, Professor Tholuck, has had the distinguished honour of standing foremost among the defenders of antient orthodoxy against the modern neologians of Germany: and "the Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans is the most important work which has hitherto proceeded from his pen. The universal approbation it has received from the friends of evangelical truth, and the fierce hostility with which it has been assailed by the rationalist party in Germany," (where, notwithstanding it has passed through many editions,) "afford the most satisfactory evidence of its distinguished worth." (Translator's preface, p. xii.) Professor Stuart, in the preface to his admirable work on the epistle to the Romans (p. vii.), has expressed the highest approbation of Dr. Tholuck's labours, to which he acknowledges himself "most of all indebted." The purchaser of Professor Stuart's work will find it desirable to study Dr. T.'s Exposition in connection with it. The translator has ably performed his difficult task, and has enriched the volume with an instructive preface.

123. Exposition of the Epistle to the Romans. With Remarks on the Commentaries of Dr. Macknight, Professor Tholuck, and Professor Moses Stuart. By Robert HALDANE, Esq. London and Edinburgh, 1835-37. 2 vols. 12mo.

As Mr. Haldane had commented rather severely on Dr. Tholuck, the translator of the professor's Exposition in 1838 published an "Answer to Mr. Robert Haldane's Strictures," in 8vo. Tholuck rejects the horribile decretum of Calvin, which Mr. Haldane fully receivesMr. Menzies has temperately replied to his strictures.

The first volume contains the first eight chapters of St. Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians. The remaining chapters are illustrated in the second volume. In the prolegomena the author has given a concise account of the city of Corinth, the introduction of Christianity, and the state of the Christian church, together with the occasion and argument of the .epistle, its canonical authority and authenticity; and a list of the best commentators on this particular epistle. The commentary is principally philological.

This well compiled academical dissertation consists of three parts, in which the author examines, 1. The second Epistle to the Corinthians; 2. The character of Saint Paul; and, 3. The language and style of the apostle. The second division is particularly valuable.

146. A Commentary on Saint Paul's Epistle to the Galatians, translated from the Latin of Martin LUTHER. 8vo. and 2 vols. 12mo.

There are also editions extant in folio and 4to. of this valuable work, which completely expose the doctrine of justification by works alone. We may apply to it in particular what Erasmus is recorded to have said of Luther's commentaries in general : — " There is more solid divinity contained in one page than could be found in many prolix treatises of schoolmen and such kind of authors. (Middleton's Biographia Evangelica, vol. i. p. 230.) Walchius states that Protestants and Catholics have both concurred in their commendations of Luther's work. (Biblioth. Theolog. vol. iv. p. 607.)

147. A Paraphrase and Notes on the Epistles of Saint Paul to the Galatians and Ephesians, with Doctrinal and Practical Observations, together with a Critical and Practical Commentary on the Two Epistles of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians. By the late learned Samuel CHANDLER, D.D. London, 1777. 4to.

"The paraphrase clearly and fully expresses the meaning of the sacred writer; the notes are enriched by original quotations from Greek and Latin authors, in order to illustrate and confirm the learned commentator's own criticisms, and many doctrinal and practical observations are interspersed, with a view of farther explaining the tendency of the apostle's reasoning, and improving the moral temper and conduct of the reader." "The commentary on the two Epistles to the Thessalonians is more diffuse: the author has every where introduced references to original writers, with whom none were more conversant, and omitted no opportunity of subjoining practical reflections, adapted to the various passages which he had previously explained by learned and liberal criticism." (Monthly Review, O. S. vol. lvi. pp. 161, 162.)

As Bishop Davenant's valuable exposition of St. Paul's epistle to the Colossians had long become extremely scarce, Mr. Allport has conferred no small favour on biblical students, by rendering his work accessible to English readers. "The translation not only possesses the more ordinary and absolutely indispensable pre-requisites of general accuracy and fidelity, but the more rare recommendations of considerable care, propriety, and even elegance.". "A very valuable feature of the present work is, that the editor has appended, (in the form of notes,) biographical sketches of the Fathers and Schoolmen whose names so profusely adorn the pages of Davenant." "His notes contain a great deal of curious and valuable information. The Sketch of the Life of Davenant deserves the highest praise: it is the only attempt that has ever been made to give any thing like a detailed account of the history and writings of that great and good man."
