Book Description
Excerpt from Notes, Practical and Expository, on the Gospels, Vol. 1 of 2: For the Use of Bible Classes, Sunday School Teachers, Catechists, and Other Pious Laymen But though we may decide this question, in accordance with the good men of the past, we find no facts to explain to us, how the Gospel was translated into Greek, or by whom, or when the original perished, and how it should have been so soon neglected. These matters can give us no uneasiness. The very silence on these points, shows us either that St. Matthew also wrote his Gospel in Greek, or that the change took place very early, when Christians had the infallible author ity of inspired men in their midst, and could not be left in doubt on matters of such importance. It is believed that St. John wrote his gospel as a complement to the other three. If so, and he at any time saw the Gospel of St. Matthew in Greek and approved it, we have a snficient imprimatur. But these doubts ought to make us modest and reverent to that ancient Church, which, under God, pre served these records for us. The arguments of careless men against a due regard to the authority of the Fathers, may be put to silence by the principles which every earnest Christian scholar (such as Mr. Barnes) finds himself compelled to adopt when accounting for the great gift of the ancient Church to us, namely, the authentic books of Scripture. God has bound together the Church in one, so that we cannot break away from Ignatius, Athanasius, or Jerome, without loss. Let us receive the Gospel as we have it at their hands, saying, with the author above cited: The proper inquiry is whether it [the Greek copy] had such evi dence of inspiration as to be satisfactory to the Church in the times when they were under the direction of the Apostles. That it had such evidence none acquainted with ancient history will doubt. For the silence of the Fathers is the best proof of their entire satisfaction.

Book Description
Excerpt from Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Gospels, Vol. 1 of 2: Designed for Sunday School Teachers and Bible Classes Tun first edition of these Notes on the Gospels was published in the year 1 832. Since that time sixteen editions, of two thousand each, have been sold, making thirty-two, thousand copies, or sixty four thousand volumes. I need not say that so extensive a sale has greatly surpassed any expectations which I had formed, and that the favor of the public thus shown has laid me under the strongest oblia gations of gratitude. It has demonstrated what I deeply felt when the work was compwed, that such a plain exposition of the Gospels was needed by the public, and particularly that the cause of Sabbath school instruction required it. The stereotype plates of the Gospels, by a neglect of careful usage, and by the number of impressions taken, having become greatly worn, and it being found necessary to re-cast them, I have taken this opportunity to give to the work a carefirl revision. I have long felt that this was hecessary, and have been pret'ented from doing it only by the dificulty'of correcting a work which is stereotyped. Many points and letters had become broken ofl' many words were dimly printed; and many sentences had become obscure. I have found, also, in revising it, that in many places there were redundant words that some were obscure in their meaning; that some had been printed erroneously at first; that in some instances there was need of additional explanations; and that there were some parts contra dicting others. These errors I have endeavored to correct. Some places have been considerably enlarged. Numerous illustrations and wood-cuts have been introduced; and a valuable map of Jerusalem, by Catherwood, has been added. As the work on the Gos ls is complete in itself, 'i have added at the close of the second volume such tables as I supposed would be useful to the teachers in Sabbath schools. In particular, the chronological table, and ti. Index, have cost me much labour, and I trust will be found to be useful. In the revision of the Work, valuable assistance has been derived from the Union Bible Dictionary of the American sunday-school Union, which has been freely used, and the benefit derived from which is hereby gratefully acknowledged.
