Critical and Exegetical Commentary NT
By Heinrich Meyer
For Greek text and grammar, Meyer’s Commentary was the best at the time it was written and is frequently cited by contemporary authors. With a heavy emphasis on text and grammar, Meyer addresses the questions of the text. Meyer also serves synopses of other authors’ viewpoints, many of which are long since unavailable without hours of work with inter-library loans. Although you may not agree with every conclusion, the analysis is invaluable.
Brown The Devil's Mission of Amusement 7 page article from 1889. Hollywood in the church and her ministries. Brown was a student of C.H Spurgeon.
Excerpts:
Different days demand their own special testimony. The watchman who would be faithful to his Lord and to the city of his God needs to carefully note the signs of the times and to emphasize his witness accordingly. Concerning the testimony needed now, there can be little if any doubt. An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, that is so gross, so brazen in its impudence, that the most shortsighted of spiritual men can hardly fail to notice it.... Amusement for the people is the leading article advertised by each... until the hideous fact has been proved up to the hilt, that "amusement" is ousting "the preaching of the Gospel" as the great attraction... The Concert is fast becoming as much a recognized part of church life as the Prayer Meeting; and it is already, in most places, far better attended.
"Providing recreation for the people" will soon be looked upon as a necessary part of Christian work, and as binding upon the Church of God, as though it were a Divine command, unless some strong voices are raised which will make themselves heard.

Meyer represents the synthesis of German theology in the same vein as J. P. Lange’s Commentary, except without the homiletical analysis. Philip Schaff, who edited the American Edition of Lange’s Commentary, said Meyer’s Commentary is, ” The ablest grammatical exegete of the age”.
Meyer’s Commentary also made Cyril Barber’s list of recommended commentaries for preachers. In The Minister’s Library Volume 1, page 83, Barber writes Meyer’s Commentary is “marked by fine scholarship … and close attention is paid to critical details. Theology is blended with exegesis in expounding the text.
Who’s Who in Christian History (1992) said Meyer’s Commentary “sets a standard for modern critical exegesis of the New Testament; it is a series that continues to be consulted by scholars.”
