Luke Volume 2: Expository Thoughts on the Gospels

Ryle only remarks that he has steadily adhered to the three-fold object, which he proposed to himself, when he first began. He endeavoured to produce something which may meet the wants of heads of families in conducting family prayers,--of district visitors in reading to the sick and unlearned,--and of private students of the Bible who have neither large libraries nor much leisure. My first object has been to throw light on difficulties. Second to aid those readers who do not understand the Greek language. Third object has been to quote passages from approved writers. My last object in these notes, has been to combat existing false doctrines and heresies.
