An incomplete commentary by an ‘unknown’ author on a book which has already had so many expositors may seem a surprising addition to the Geneva Series. As publishers our prejudice against an incomplete commentary was overcome by the sheer worth of these pages.

Hodge writes ‘To a greater degree than any commentary within the writer’s knowledge, this volume is adapted to spiritual edification. The leading characteristic of these lectures is their spirituality…No believer can read it without finding himself a better Christian, nor can he fail to be made wiser.’

Author

James Beverlin Ramsey (1814-71) was a man of great spiritual stature. ‘There was about him’, wrote Charles Hodge, ‘such an elevation above the world, such constant evidence that he was a temple of the Holy Spirit, that he was sacred in the eyes of all who knew him.’
