A Commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrews

From the Preface: "The Commentary and the Translation, as well as the Introduction, exhibit throughout an acquaintance with the style of the sacred writers, a skill in discriminating the various shades of meaning of their phraseology, a knowledge of Hebrew and Greek idiom, and a reverence for the dictates of divine truth--all highly creditable to the author, and calculated to be abundantly useful to the Christian world. The author says truly, that , 'interpretations a priori have long enough had their sway in the church; and it is very manifest, that a more judicious and truly Protestant mode of thinking and reasoning, in respect to the interpretation of the Scriptures, has commenced, and bids fair to be adopted."
