Overview
In the series A Devotional Commentary on the Gospel Narrative, noted Tractarian Isaac Williams shares his thoughts on the Gospels of the four evangelists—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—across eight volumes. Williams was a member of the controversial Oxford Movement, which placed the Anglican Church as one of three branches of the Catholic Church. (Other members included John Henry Newman and E.B. Pusey.) His perspective on the Gospels offers a glimpse into this intriguing corner of Christian history and thought.
Williams begins his Gospel narrative study series with a general overview of the Gospels, showing how Christ appears within them. The companion volume, A Harmony of the Four Evangelists, provides further insights in the relationships of the Gospels, serving as a helpful reference for the other volumes. In the rest of the series, Williams details each phase of Jesus’ life, from his birth to his ascension into Heaven as they are discussed in each Gospel.

Robert Hawker, the author of the Poor Man's Commentary and the Poor Man's Evening and Morning Portions, was NOT a supporter of the Oxford Movement. His grandson Robert Stephen Hawker converted to Roman Catholicism on his deathbed. I have notified Logos of this error and they have not changed the description. The Oxford Movement hadn't even begun in his life time and he was no fan of the papacy or any form of Roman Catholicism.
