His commentaries cover the larger part of the Old Testament, and all of the new excepting Second and Third John and the Apocalypse. His commentaries and lectures stand in the front rank of Biblical interpretation.The Epistle To The Philippians stands associated with a most interesting event in the history of the progress of Christianity.

It bears evidence of having been written during Paul''s first imprisonment at Rome. The First Epistle To The Thessalonians is generally believed to have been the first Epistle written by PAUL
