Commentary on the New Testament by Dr. Hermann Olshausen. these commentaries were originally published in the mid-1800's.

His Commentary on the first three Gospels is based on their harmony, and presents their narratives blended where they coincide, and alternating in the order of events where their materials differ. As regards the Epistles, he abjures the aphoristic style of interpretation, from which some of the most distinguished expositors from recent times have not succeeded in working themselves wholly free, and his exegesis lÓg
