Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of Introduction to the New Testament, Vol. 1 of 2
On the other hand I have entire respect for all earnest scientific enquiry, even when it takes another direction than what appears to me correct; and I am not satisfied with a peremptory rejection Of its results. I have endeavoured throughout to follow the history Of scientific research as closely as possible into each separate question, and to present it to the reader. I have also allowed -a hearing to the Opposite view, with its reasons, and have endeavoured fmm history itself to learn-and to teach how it may be refuted, though in every instance I look for the chief decision from the positive statement Of the case agreeably to the sources from which it is drawn. The dependence on traditional premises, which is as great On the critical as on the apolo getic side, I have now as ever fearlessly resisted, even where it is most confidently asserted. I do not profess toihave enumerated all views, or mentioned all the names inciden tally in favour of this or that Opinion, even where such names may be renowned. Of actual fellow-workers on the problems Of the New Testament I hope I have forgotten none. But I have not been able to follow up foreign liter ature to any extent.
