Overview

Sutcliffe’s Commentary on the Old and New Testament was the achievement of 40 years of study by renowned Wesleyan minister and biblical scholar Joseph Sutcliffe. His goal was “to give ancient truths the drapery of living language . . .” and he poured heart and soul into this project. An evangelist at heart, Sutcliffe presents this commentary “to assist the candidate for the sanctuary to the utmost of his power; for the conscious mind, called to save souls, and defend truth, is worthy of all the aid that science can afford.”

To comprise the whole Bible in one volume necessitated notes few and brief. Sutcliffe . . . is in general so good that we wish we had more of him; his style is vivacious and forcible.
