Excerpt from Notes on Epistles of St. Paul: From Unpublished Commentaries

The above explanation applies to the notes on the Two Epistles to the Thessalonians, and on the first seven chapters (for no more is here published) of the First Epistle to the Corinthians and of the Epistle to the Romans. In the case of the fragment of the Epistle to the Ephesians (eph. I. 1 - 14) no qualification is necessary; for in this case the Bishop's manuscript is written out fully, just as he intended it for publication in his contemplated edition of that Epistle. It thus represents his final judgment on these verses.

In a few places, quotations, carefully specified, have been inserted from Dr Lightfoot's book 'on a Fresh Revision of the English New Testament (3rd Edition with an additional appendix, a work which, though published with a special purpose, yet contains a great amount of New Testa ment exegesis of permanent value.

Excerpt from Notes on Epistles of St. Paul: From Unpublished Commentaries

The present work represents the fulfillment of the undertaking announced in the preface to 'Biblical Essays' a year and a half ago. As that volume consisted of introductory essays upon New Testament subjects, so this comprises such of Dr Lightfoot's notes on the text as in the opinion of the Trustees of the Lightfoot Fund are sufficiently complete to justify publication. However, unlike 'Biblical Essays,' of which a considerable part had already been given to the world, this volume, as its title-page indicates, consists entirely of unpublished matter. It aims at reproducing, wherever possible, the courses of lectures delivered at Cambridge by Dr Lightfoot upon those Pauline Epistles which he did not live to edit in the form of complete commentaries. His method of trusting to his memory in framing sentences in the lecture room has been alluded to already in the preface to the previous volume. But here again the Editor's difficulty has been considerably lessened by the kindness of friends who were present at the lectures and have placed their notebooks at the disposal of the Trustees.
