(21.) C. T. Kuindl.— The commentaries of this writer, especially on the Gospels and Acts (in Latin, best ed. London, 1836, 3 vob. 8vo), although strongly tinctured with rationalism, are among the best, criti- cally and philologlcally considered, extant. Learn- ing, acuteness, and candor are everywhere apparent.
(22.) 6. Bush. — This author's annotations on sev- eral of the first books of the O. T., although intended for popular use, are generally characterized by good sense, genuine learning, and pious sentiment; and are the more valuable as being nearly the only c^x>d com- mentary on these portions of Scripture available to the common reader.
(23.) M. Stuart.— His commentaries on Romans, Hebrews, Daniel, Revelation, Proverbs, and Ecclesi- astes, albeit rather diflTuse and grammatical, are yet of great value for their eminent candor, careM inves- tigation, and general apprehension of the genius and scope of the writers. To the young student especially they are indispensable.
(24.) S. T. Bloomfield. — This author's critical Digeit (8 vols. 8vo, Lond. 182^-8), as well as his Ckrni- mentary (Lond. 1880 sq. 2 vols. 8vo ; Phila. 1886) and its Supplement (London, 1840, 1 vol. 8vo), all on the N. T., give very much sound and judicious exposition, and have tiie advantage of placing before the reader the views of earlier interpreters. TVlthont any great attempt at originality, there is generally a careKd sift- ing of ophnions and balancing of arguments that make his comments, on the whole, the best synopsis of sim- ple exegesis yet produced.
(25.) H. Alford Q'Gr. TeH.'' with critical appara- tus and noiM, Lond. 1868-61, 6 vols. 8vo ; vol. i, N. T. I860).— This scholarly edition of the Greek Test, con- tains a critically-revised text, a copious exhibit of va- rious readings, valuable prolegomena, and a series of analytical, i^ological, and expository notes. There is not much strictly new in any of these departments, but a convenient assemblage of materials not usually accessible. The whole is wrought out with great care and leaming, and presented in the most condensed fonn. A very serious drawback upon its value, how-
ever, is the latitudinarianism evident in the author's theological, or, perhaps, rather hermeneutical princi- ples, which leads him in very many difficult passages rather to array the sacred authors against one another than to reconcile their apparent discrepancies. Un- der arrogance of superior ** honesty," he too often de- clines the prime task of an expositor by pronouncing difficulties insoluble. The critical apparatus is per- vaded by the same subjective proclivity, insomuch that the writer has himself once or twice completely remodelled it.
(26.) F. J. V. D. Maurer (" Cbntmentems in V. T." Lps. 1886-47, 4 vols. 8vo).— This is a series of brief annotations on the Old Test, considerably full on the poetic portions, and characterized by great acu- men, with much accuracy of scholarship, but little or no combination of the spiritual insight into Holy Writ. J\ is chiefly valuable to students for expounding the literal meaning.
(27.) J. C. Wolf (" Cune in N. T." 6 vols. 4to, Ba. sil. 1741). — ^This author, although somewhat old, de- serves especial notice for his valuable mass of sound annotations.
Besides the above, the following English comment- aries on portions of Scripture are entitled to particular mention, including several German works presented in an English dress by the publishers Clark, of Edin- burgh (valuable additions to our literature these last, but sa^y in need, as a general thing, of judicious edit- ing), and some reprinted in thb country : Trench on the Muscles and Parables; Stier on the words of Christ ; Kitto's Pictorial Bible and Daify Bible lOuMtra^ Hont; Conybeare and Howson's Life and EpUtles ofSU Paul; Watson on Matt, and some other parts of the N. T. ; Bengel on the N. T. ; Baumgarten on the Acts ; Eadie on several of the Pauline epistles ; Horsley on Hosea ; Elliott on Revelation ; Lomh on Isaiah ; We- royss and Fry on Job ; Ellicott on the pastoral epistles ; Good on the Psalms and Canticles ; Steiger on Ist Pe- ter ; Umbreit on Job ; Billroth on Corinthians ; Titt- mann on John; Lightfoot's Hotib HebraiccBf Keil on Joshua and Kings ; Auberlein on Daniel ; Kalisch on Qen. and Exod. ; Stanley on Corinthians ; Jowett on several of Paul's epistles; Ginsburg on Cant, and Eccles. ; Phillips and De Burgh on the Psalms ; Mao- lean on Hebrews ; Preston on Ecclesiastes, and many others which space does not permit us here to enumer- ate. There are commentaries on the entire Bible by Girdlestone, Wellbeloved, Wesley, Coke, Benson, dobbin, Sutcliffe, and others ; on the New Test by Baxter, Burkitt, Gillies, Trollope, and others ; on the Gospels by Quesnel, Campbell, Norton, Ryle, and oth- ers ; on the Epistles by Macknight, Pyle, and others. There are also serviceable annotations on various parts of Scripture by several of the early Church fa- thers, especially Origen, Jerome, and Chrysostom (see Catena), by the mediaeval theologians and reform- ers, especially Luther, and an almost innumerable se- ries of later commentators more or less extensive, sufficiently complete lists of which are given under the appropriate heads in this CyclopssdiA. There also ex- ist an inomense number of academical dissertations of an exegetical character, chiefly by Germans, for cer- tain collections of a few of which, well known on the Continent, see Walch, BibL Theolog. iv, 920 sq.
