Expository Thoughts on the Gospels - St. Matthew

EXPOSITORY THOUGHTS ON THE
GOSPELS — ST. MATTHEW

By Rev. J. C. Ryle (1816-1900)

“Expository Thoughts” divides the Gospels into sections of about twelve verses
each, from which J. C. Ryle selects two or three prominent points to dwell on
and bring to the reader’s attention. In Ryle’s day, there were many detailed
commentaries and expositions on scripture. In writing these “Expository
Thoughts”, Ryle aimed to offer a resource to the laity for use in family prayers, as
an aid to those who visit the sick and desire a proper book to read on such
occasions, and for private devotions for those whose callings and engagements
make it impossible for them to read large commentaries. Rev. Ryle offered this
first volume on the Gospel of St. Matthew “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 in aid of the glorious work of
converting and edifying immortal souls.” (Introduction by MaryAnn)

Total running time: 15:28:28
