If the best way to understand the Christian faith is to read the Gospels, then the next most important books to read must be those which aid in the understanding of those Gospels. This is the aim of Ryle\u2019s Expository Thoughts on the Gospels<\/em>.<\/p>\n Within a year of publishing Mark<\/em> in his Expository Thoughts on the Gospels <\/em>series, J. C. Ryle had, in 1858, completed the Gospel of Luke.<\/p>\n This 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:<\/p>\n Because of this, the Expository Thoughts on the Luke <\/em> were – and are in this new edition – presented in two volumes, the first covering Luke chapters 1-10, the second chapters 11-24.<\/p>\n Written specifically for a non-Jewish readership, Luke’s Gospel is perhaps the most ‘accessible’ of the narratives of the life of Christ for modern readers. Ryle’s desire for his readers mirrors that of\u00a0Luke 1:4, that they might gain ‘a more clear knowledge of Christ, as a living person, a living priest, a living physician, a living friend, a living advocate at the right hand of God, and a living Saviour soon about to come again’.<\/p>\n Reprinted in fresh, new format Expository Thoughts<\/em> will bring Ryle’s plain yet profound insights to a new generation.<\/p>\n A new, re-typeset, clothbound edition of Ryle\u2019s popular expositional series on the Gospels. The Expository Thoughts can be used as a help in family worship, or as an aid in pastoral visitation, or simply as a companion to the Gospels in the private reading of Scripture. 288\u2013432 pp. per volume.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":230785,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1499,5610],"product_tag":[6364],"class_list":{"0":"post-189","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-commentaries","7":"product_cat-ebooks","8":"product_tag-ebooks","9":"pa_binding-cloth-bound","10":"pa_binding-cloth-bound-ebook","11":"pa_binding-ebook","12":"pa_class-bc","13":"pa_era-19th-century","14":"pa_format-book","15":"pa_isbn-1720","16":"pa_original-pub-date-1684","17":"pa_page-count-1721","18":"pa_recent-pub-date-jul-1-2012","19":"pa_recent-pub-date-year-6224","20":"pa_scripture-luke","21":"pa_set-expository-thoughts-on-the-gospels-clothbound","22":"pa_short-isbn-1722","23":"pa_subtitle-volume-3-luke-part-1-chapters-1-10","24":"pa_theauthor-ryle-j-c","25":"pa_topic-no-topic-listed","26":"pa_vol-1564","28":"first","29":"instock","30":"sale","31":"taxable","32":"shipping-taxable","33":"purchasable","34":"product-type-variable","35":"has-default-attributes"},"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":500,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
