Excerpt from An Undeveloped Chapter in the Life of Christ: The Great Meaning of the Word Metanoia, Lost in the Old Version, Unrecovered in the New
In the very outset of the life of Christ he comes upon the word Metanoi'a and in a connection which gives it the all-prominent place. He takes in the' significance of its position at once. It conveys the summons Of the herald, and of the herald who was freighted with the good news which the whole New Testament afterwards unfolds. Here in epitome, he naturally thinks, must be all the high Call ing of God. No word therefore in the New Testament can be greater' than this. Hence he must interpret it as a condensed expression of what was originally said in large, and as an expression, also, which was fixed upon long after the event, when everything was understood, as the fit one to carry the'-.great burden. If this is its anticipatory reach, if this is its heralding grasp, he naturally sets about inquiring what is its history and what its elementary weight.
When we imagine such a fresh reader of the Greek Testament as this, we place ourselves in the situation to pursue his inquiry.
The literal meaning of Metanoia, or rather, the nearest expression to it in English, is Change of Mind, a phrase too much worn by familiar use to be available as a rendering, but an idea capable of many equivalent variations in the English tongue. It will be more convenient, however, for our present purpose to employ the phrase as if its native force had not been thus impaired. What word is more expressive than Change what more comprehensive than Mind.

Excerpt from An Undeveloped Chapter in the Life of Christ: The Great Meaning of the Word Metanoia, Lost in the Old Version, Unrecovered in the New
This Essay, originally contributed to the American Church Review, and afterward reprinted in a separate form, is now issued in still another edition to meet the demand which seems to have set in for it.
The new title which has been given it - to which the other is now appended as explanatory - exhibits better the character and scope of the subject as one of general and popular interest; namely, the development of an aspect of the Life of Christ which has been strangely omitted in the many "Lives of Christ" that have appeared, but very naturally overlooked by the reader of the English translation of the New Testament.
The Essay appeared when criticisms of the new version were in order, and was intended to draw attention to the continued mistranslation of "Metanoia," but this was only its passing intention, and a purely critical and technical treatment was therefore avoided, in order that the subject itself might develop its intrinsic and permanent interest.
The reception with which it has been honored, not only by scholars, but by intelligent and thoughtful readers, within his own communion and out of it, has more than repaid the writer for his carefulness in this respect.
The Paper remains unaltered, although written under conditions which compelled condensation and brevity. Many parts are less amplified than they would otherwise have been, especially in the closing pages; but the suggestions remain, and the possible deductions from them are apparent.
The commendatory expressions printed at the close are extracts from letters received, either in courteous acknowledgment of copies mailed to the writers, or in spontaneous recognition of the importance of the subject. Many other such letters have been received from sources personally unknown to the author; in one case offering to purchase a large part of the present edition for distribution. The passages that are given were not intended for publication, but are appended not only for the weightiness of their endorsement, but for their contributary character, in one way or another, to the substance of the essay itself.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a profound exploration of the Greek word "Metanoia" and its misinterpretation as "repentance" in the English New Testament. The author contends that this mistranslation has led to a misunderstanding of the core message of the Gospel, shifting the focus from a transformative change of mind and life to mere sorrow or remorse. By tracing the historical and linguistic evolution of "Metanoia," the author reveals its rich and encompassing meaning, encompassing intellectual, ethical, and spiritual dimensions. The book highlights how this word, as used by John the Baptist and Jesus, signifies a radical shift in consciousness, a reorientation of one's entire being towards the divine. The author argues that understanding the true essence of "Metanoia" is crucial for grasping the revolutionary nature of Christ's teachings and the transformative power of the Gospel. By embracing this deeper understanding, individuals can embark on a journey of authentic spiritual growth and align their lives with the divine will. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331042563_0
