Description Devotional commentaries on Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. This eBook also comes with extensive Technical Notes on the Gospels of Luke & John. Words have been slightly updated for modern readers.
Commentaries and Expositions of Scripture are so numerous in the present day, that I feel it necessary to say something about the class of readers whom I have specially had in view in putting forth these EXPOSITORY THOUGHTS.
In the first place, I indulge the hope that the work may be found suitable for use at family prayers. The supply of works adapted for this purpose has never yet been equal to the demand.
In the next place, I cannot help hoping that the work may prove an aid to those who visit the sick and the poor. The number of persons who visit hospitals, sick-rooms, and cottages, with an earnest desire to do spiritual good, is now very great. There is reason to believe that proper books for reading on such occasions are much wanted.
Last, but not least, I trust that the work may not be found unprofitable for private reading, as a companion to the Gospels. There are not a few whose callings and engagements make it impossible for them to read large commentaries and expositions of God's Word. I ahve thought that such may find it helpful to their memories to have a few leading points set before their minds in connection with what they read.
I now send forth the volume, with an earnest prayer that it may tend to the promotion of pure and undefiled religion, help to extend the knowledge of Christ, and be a humble instrument inaid of the glorious work of converting and edifying immortal souls.
Observing this need in his own parish, J. C. Ryle prepared his Expository Thoughts on the Gospels which have encircled the earth for more than a century with undiminished popularity and usefulness.
Ryle's 'plain and pointed' words are a great stimulus to the reading of the Bible itself. While his chief aim is to help the reader to know Christ, he also has another object in view. He writes so that his commentaries can be read aloud to a group. There are many other fuller commentaries on the Gospels, but no others make such compelling listening as those of J.C. Ryle.
Ryle says, "I hold firmly the distinctive theological views of the Reformers and doctrinal Puritans, and that I totally disapprove the loose and broad theology of some modern schools of divines--But while I say all this, I must be allowed to add, that in interpreting Scripture, I "call no man master or father." I abhor the idea of twisting and warping God's Word in order to made it support party views. Throughout this Commentary I have endeavored honestly and conscientiously to find out the real meaning of every sentence on which I have commented. I have evaded no difficulty, and shrunk from no inference. I have simply followed Scripture wherever its words seemed to point, and accepted whatever they seemed to mean. I have never hesitated to express my disagreement from the views of other commentators if occasion required; but when I have done so I have tried to do it with courtesy and respect."
A great deal of time and effort was put into this eBook. It was well worth it as this is perhaps the finest devotional commentary on the gospels ever produced. If you have an eBook reader this is a MUST-OWN title. We guarantee you that you will not be disappointed with the soul-stirring content herein. From personal experience, this is great for personal or family devotions.

I've used this so many times for sermon preparation on the Gospels. Ryle is an old voice that seldom disappoints. His analysis of the text is solid, and he exposits it in a way that really hits home. The value of this book is not just in the expository thoughts but the extended notes on each chapter. That's where there is plenty of gold to be mined. You won't always agree with his conclusions - but you will be challenged and find yourself thinking deeper on the passage than before. If I had the money I'd get this in a physical copy as well as the kindle copy I own.Product details

So far i'm only reading the section on the Gospel of Luke, the work is well written and provides many valuable details for further thought....
i recommend highly
It is as expected
This is an excellent resource from a solid evangelical pastor/preacher of the 19th century. Not to be missed by nay Christian student.
