Ebook The Temptation of Christ

The substance of this volume was delivered in the ordinary course of my ministry to the church and congregation to whom I have ventured to dedicate it. That it retains traces of its original character, I am fully aware; but as this series is entitled "The Household Library of Exposition," and is intended rather for family reading than for the discussion of any of the great critical or theological questions connected with Scripture, I have not cared to remove altogether from the book that practical colouring which is appropriate to most sermons. At the same time I trust that this attempt to expound the Temptation of Christ, in its relation both to Himself, and to our own temptations, will not altogether fail of the character of an "exposition" properly so called.
