Commentary on the Book of Matthew by H. Leo Boles (c)1952

This Commentary from the American Restoration Movement is one of the best
ever written for the Book of Matthew.  The only one that comes close to holding a
candle to it is the one written by Charles H. Spurgeon.  Both are simple and easy
to read and understand.  Not like the "Fancy" and "Often Wordy" Exegetical and
Theological Commentaries on the Market today.  The last recorded copyright I was
able to find for this was (c)1952.   I created this LOGOS version from one I downloaded
several years ago from the e-Sword biblesupport.com website.  Since I still have e-Sword
on my PC, it was a matter of copying the Book/Chapter Comments into Word (in order of 
course), then formatting and inserting the Headings where they needed to go for use in LOGOS.

Here is the Commentary below (325 pages )......
Matthew - H. Leo Boles -(c)1952.docx

The .PDF Version of this commentary is available online from   the https://restorationlibrary.org 
website (and several other online church websites).  PDF Download Link at A Commentary on the Gospel According to Matthew by Henry Leo Boles (restorationlibrary.org)  This site is a digital library for Churches of Christ and Christian Churches.  However, there has been
virtually no activity from this site since the middle of the Pandemic.  The E.M. Zerr Commentary on this site (PDF format) is pretty
much the basis for the LOGOS version that has been posted on the LOGOS Files Forum.

    Mark, I appreciate the wonderful work you are doing in helping us have access to works that aren't easily found elsewhere. I thought it important to let you know though, that this work is already available in Logos:

    That is true.  But it is only as part  of a set or collection.  Don't believe LOGOS has it available as a book by itself.
    I can assure you that what I might create is not as "fancy" or professional as what LOGOS might have.  Mostly because
    I don't do "Milestones" in books.  Maybe because I either don't have the desire to spend a lot of time inserting them
    into a book.  Anyway, the book on Matthew by Boles is just a plain jaine monograph type of Book.  I suppose that
    what LOGOS has is a real Commentary, and it probably doesn't have the grammatical errors or mistakes.

    I am looking now at creating a few books by R.C. Bell (public domain) on Romans and other books of the New Testament.
    There is one thing that I wish LOGOS would do, and that is, support the release of works by authors from he 
    Restoration Movement.

    That is irrelevant. As a matter of courtesy, if Logos carries it, It should not be offered as a file on the Logos site.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I agree with MJ. I have a number of Restoration Movement books in my Personal Books, but those that became available in Logos, I went ahead and purchased.

    Also, it appears that the H. Leo Boles commentary on Matthew is available as a standalone book.

    OK.  NO PROBLEM.  Won't be a problem to delete that.
    Wasn't aware that it was available as a stand-alone book.

    Well, now then, isn't this something?
    Tried to go back just now and edit the original post and was
    going to delete the file, but the forum won't allow me to delete
    the file.  Guess someone who is higher up than me will have to
    help with this.  Is there a time-limit where you can go back and
    edit/delete an attachment? since it has been more than 12 hours
    since the Post?
