=The Leeds Mercury= says: "With great analytical skill, and with a
spiritual insight which almost amounts to genius, Dr. Maclaren lays
bare the gist of Paul's message, and does so in terms which cannot
fail to appeal deeply and at once to the common heart of Christians of
all sorts and conditions. In moral fervour, spiritual beauty, and an
unfailing charm of literary expression, this volume is worthy to rank
with the noblest results of Christian scholarship and culture."
=The Baptist Magazine= says: "Dr. Maclaren's lectures on the
Colossians are among his best works. He has thoroughly grasped the
argument of this profound Epistle, followed the sequences of its
thoughts, traced the connections and dependences of its different
parts, and applied its principles and lessons to the religious and
social needs of our own day. He seems almost to have 'changed eyes'
with St. Paul, and to have elucidated his thoughts with a vividness of
imagination, an intensity of feeling, and an incisiveness of speech
which have rarely been equalled."
=The Scotsman= says: "There will be found in it much that is
instructive and much that is practical, many sound views of life and
religion as well as considerable insight into the spirit and meaning
of the Apostle. Dr. Maclaren, at any rate, knows how to apply the
lessons of Scripture to the needs and the questionings of our own day;
and his views, which are evangelical, and opposed to ritualism and
asceticism, will be widely acceptable."
