An old but “Great” commentary

The Great Commentary of Cornelius à Lapide was released in English as a series of books in the 19th century. He was a Flemish Jesuit who lived in from 1567 to 1637. These commentaries can be quite helpful with various passages, keeping in mind there may be some aspects to them that don’t work so well in the 21st century. The commentaries refer to Church Fathers often. I have included links to the commentaries on the Gospels here.

Matthew 1-9
Matthew 10-21
Matthew 22-28, Mark
Luke
John 1-11
John 12-21
