An Exposition of the Epistles of St. Paul and of the Catholic Epistles, Volume 1 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. It combines traditional exegesis with moral exhortation and so has been widely used as a daily devotional. The work was originally intended for laymen, but quickly found a place as a textbook in seminary education and has seen numerous editions.

He had charge of the public treasury of Corinth, where this Epistle is generally supposed to have been written.
