Sinopsis

Excerpt from Biblical Introduction

This volume is intended for a handbook of Biblical Introduction - dealing with such questions as the date, authorship, composition; analysis, and contents of the several books - for those who are unacquainted or only slightly acquainted with the original languages of the Bible and the technicalities of criticism. The authors have been anxious to include all matters Of importance, to state the prevalent views concerning them, and to do so at sufficient length to make them intelligible. Necessarily, therefore, many details of analysis and criticism have had to be omitted, and many theories held by only a few scholars have had to be ignored. Not only did considerations of space require these omissions, but it was important that the student should not be so bewildered by a crowd of details and conflicting theories as to be unable to see the wood for the trees. Hence, only an outline of arguments and specimens of evidence are given, and it must not be supposed that an exhaustive proof is offered of the positions maintained. Similarly the authorities referred to are merely a representative selection. Care has been taken to secure that the information given should be accurate and recent.

In the Old Testament, the. Critical position is, speaking roughly, that identified in this country with Professors Cheyne, Driver, Ryle, G. A. Smith, etc.

Excerpt from Biblical Introduction

Brief notes as to the light thrown by Assyrian, Babylonian, and other inscriptions on the history of Israel have been added to the passages of the historical books which they illustrate. Under each book, or - where the present books are collections of earlier works - under each section, some account is given of its use in the New Testament; this account, however, is not exhaustive. The references to Driver's Introduction are to the Sixth Edition; but, except where specially stated, the numbers of the pages are those of the Fifth and earlier editions, which are given in brackets [ ] in the text of the Sixth. Special attention is called to the explanation of symbols and technical terms on pp. 15 ff., 24 f., 32, 62 n.

With regard to the chapters on the New Testament, a brief description of the patristic writers cited will be found in an appendix; for a fuller account the reader is referred to Professor Charteris' Canonicity. The scheme of chronology adopted in the New Testament period is that which until recently has been almost universally accepted, that followed in the main by Schürer, Lightfoot, Hort, etc. Recently Harnack, McGiffert, and others have argued for an earlier dating of the chief events in St. Paul's life, and of the writing of his epistles. In an important article on "Chronology" in the new Bible Dictionary, the writer, Mr. C. H. Turner, has demonstrated the impossibility of these early dates.
