St. Luke

The King James Text with the Explanatory Notes of John Wesley

John Wesley

The full King James text of Luke with Wesley's note printed beneath each verse, and a critical apparatus tracing his sources at the close of every chapter.

Luke is the Gospel of the great parables, and its surprise is that the warm, pastoral notes on the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal — long felt to be Wesley's own pulpit voice — prove to be Doddridge's 'Improvement' sections near-verbatim. The apparatus also marks his anti-Rome polemic and his Arminian re-slants, including the inward reading of 'the kingdom of God is within you.'

With the series and volume introductions, the full apparatus, and indexes of sources, of Scripture cited, and of subjects.
