In the "Expositor's Bible," First Series. Crown 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d. The Leeds Mercury says: "With great analytical skill, and with a spiritual insight which almost amounts to genius, Dr. Maclaren lays bare the gist of Paul's message, and does so in terms which cannot fail to appeal deeply and at once to the common heart of Christians of all sorts and conditions. In moral fervour, spiritual beauty, and an unfailing charm of literary expression, this volume is worthy to rank with the noblest results of Christian scholarship and culture." The Baptist Magazine says: "Dr. Maclaren's lectures on the Colossians are among his best works. He has thoroughly grasped the argument of this profound Epistle, followed the sequences of its thoughts, traced the connections and dependences of its different parts, and applied its principles and lessons to the religious and social needs of our own day. He seems almost to have 'changed eyes' with St. Paul, and to have elucidated his thoughts with a vividness of imagination, an intensity of feeling, and an incisiveness of speech which have rarely been equalled." The Scotsman says: "There will be found in it much that is instructive and much that is practical, many sound views of life and religion as well as considerable insight into the spirit and meaning of the Apostle. Dr. Maclaren, at any rate, knows how to apply the lessons of Scripture to the needs and the questionings of our own day; and his views, which are evangelical, and opposed to ritualism and asceticism, will be widely acceptable."
