Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 11
Fascinating though it is for leisured minds to jigsaw ancient writings and to separate the sections with a view to subsequent refitting, interesting though Scripture critics are to one another as brethren in a guild of fellow-workers, it dare not be forgotten, and it cannot too sternly be insisted, that the function Of New Testament study is to elucidate the New Testament, to let in fresh light upon its venerable pages, and, not less Often, to free them from the wrappings Of tradition so that they may as of Old shine by their Own light upon the minds Of men. It is not altogether a whole some sign when Our literary and critical introductions to the books Of the New Testament become a mass of figures and a nexus Of alternative opinions. They are full of honest personal work. Rightly used, they are a help such as no earlier generation ever enjoyed. But they do not and they will not inspire as slighter [and sometimes less able works have done.
