Book Description

Excerpt from Illustrations, Expository and Practical, of the Farewell Discourse of Jesus: Being a Series of Lectures on the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and Sixteenth Chapters of the Gospel of St. John When, in 1830, my dear Brother, the accomplished and excellent Author of these Discourses, entered on his paro chial ministry at F alkirk, he commenced a course of Expository Lectures on the Gospel of St. John; and when, in 1835, death put a period to his useful and honourable life, he had proceeded in that course as far as the nine teenth chapter. Soon after the appearance of the Memoir and Remains of Mr. Patterson which were published in 1836, there was a call for some, at least, of his Lectures on the Gospel of St. John. From his Manuscripts, accord ingly, the Lectures on our Lord's F arewell - Discourse recorded in the 14th, 15th, and 16th chapters of that Gospel - were selected, as containing an exposition of a specially precious portion of the New Testament, and as furnishing a characteristic specimen of the ordinary minis trations of the lamented Author. These were given to the Public several years ago, and have been regarded by many competent judges as remarkable for accurate exegesis.
