Gospels of the Sundays and Festivals Vols. 1&2 With an Introduction, Parallel Passages, Notes, and Moral Reflections by Rev Cornelius J. Ryan D.D. Published 1928 Hardcover. Condition: Good This explanation of the Gospels of the Sundays and Festivals was originally written for the use of a class of stucents in the College of the Holy Cross, Clonliffe, and it was intended as a ful exposition of the passages of Sacred Scripture which are most frequently explained for the people. It is hoped that, supplied with the materials here collected, the ecclesiastical student or the missionary priest will be aided in his preparation for one of his most onerous but indispensable duties. Includes (1) a brief introduction dealing with the gospels in general and with the scene of the gospel history; (2) the Greek and the Latin text of the gospel extracts read at Mass on the Sundays and principal Festivals throughout the year; (3) an English translation of each extract; (4) the paralle passage or passages,when the subject is referred to by more than one evangelist; (5) a combined narrative in every case where there is a parallel passage; (6) a full explanation of each verse together with an introductory note on the circumstances of time, place, etc., in which the event occurred or the discourse was delivered; (7) moral reflections suggested by the matter already discussed in the notes.
