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. This is the first of two volumes on St. Luke. As with the previous volumes on the Gospels of St. Matthew and St. Mark, Rev. Ryle offered this book “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)

Studying Luke with this as a reference has been perhaps the most profitable study since I was saved four and a half years ago. The Lord has seen fit to bless richly, for which I am deeply thankful. Ryle is perfect for someone who desires to study and ponder the text for themselves, and then turn to him for additional wisdom and/or correction. Ryle is incredibly easy to read, deeply Christ focused, and inherently practical. Can't recommend highly enough.

Outstanding! Like everything written by Ryle

This is the third book in this series. This one changed the format a little by having notes at the end of each section. I feel there are more notes than are needed but of course that is optional to peruse anyways. The rest is going through Luke just the way he went through Matthew and Mark. I continue to enjoy this writer and love the insights he had from 1858. These are thoughts just as applicable today. I truly love this series.
Jon Pentecost –
Fully of exegetical and pastoral nuggets. Because it was written as a primarily devotional reading, the application is fronted, and exegetical notes follow. So I recommend reserving it toward the end of any commentary consulting. But it is rich fare indeed. Used in preparing to preach Luke in 2019, 2020
Nick Roark –
Glorious
Bryan Craddock –
Extremely helpful! Ryle explains the text well and gives good applications. His exegetical notes are also surprisingly thorough.
Eric Honsberger –
Excellent. Ryle is always helpful.

This was a reread of Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Luke volume 1. On the reread, I've probably bored other people telling them how much I like this book. JC Ryle was the Anglican bishop of Liverpool and a Victorian but he avoided using typical Victorian prose. This book is clear, sensible and honest. Ryle is clear about parts of the Gospel that he doesn't understand or are controversial yet brings out clear, challenging thoughts without compromising the meaning of the passage.

The sections are short and conveniently have a Bible passage printed at the top. The short sections make this idea for reading a portion daily. Highly recommended.
