Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Commentary on the Sermon on the Mount
When this work first made its appearance, it gave rise to a movement of a practical character in the Church, out of which have grown practical commentaries, commentaries for the use of schools, and sermons on the whole or on particular parts of the Sermon on the Mount. May the present Edition also find its way to practical theologians, and, in these days of the revival of controversy on dogmas and creeds, help to draw the mind to a deeper study of Scripture, and (as this por tion of the New Testament is peculiarly adapted to do) and develop that practical spirit, which can alone stones for the Church, and preserve the plans of the builders of the Church from being mere castles in the air.
