An Exposition of the Epistles of St. Paul and of the Catholic Epistles, Volume 2 is unavailable, but you can change that!

John MacEvilly’s exposition of the Pauline and Catholic Epistles offers a clear, Catholic, passage-by-passage interpretation of the text.

The work was originally intended for laymen, but quickly found a place as a textbook in seminary education and has seen numerous editions.
