Excerpt from The Epistle to the Hebrews: With Introduction and Notes

The general purpose of this addition to the numerous Commentaries on the Epistle to the Hebrews is stated by the General Editor. But the particular Editor may be allowed to say one word as to his own view of what the purpose included.

His main desire in these pages has been to make the general argument of the Epistle clear and to exhibit it as a whole. The Epistle seems to him to be one that demands this more than other Epistles of the New Testament. Though in the form of a letter, and with the personal purpose of a letter, it is also a complete and artistic composition. There are no digressions properly so called. Even in what reads like a postscript the thoughts are put out in this form not by accident, but because the writer felt that in that way and at that moment they would most effectively answer his design.

It is in view of this character of the Epistle that the Editor has prefixed to the Commentary, besides the Summary of Contents, a full Paraphrase of the Epistle. A paraphrase is not a loose translation. It deliberately forfeits the power of reproducing in any way the literary form; but it aims at preserving, and in some degree making clearer than a translation can make it, the complete articulation of the thought. It is meant to be read with the Commentary, and as a chief part of it.

Excerpt from The Epistle to the Hebrews: With Introduction and Notes

The primary object of these Commentaries is to be exegetical, to interpret the meaning of each book of the Bible in the light of modern knowledge to English readers. The Editors will not deal, except subordinately, with questions of textual criticism or philology; but taking the English text in the Revised Version as their basis, they will aim at combining a hearty acceptance of critical principles with loyalty to the Catholic Faith.

The series will be less elementary than the Cambridge Bible for Schools, less critical than the International Critical Commentary, less didactic than the Expositor's Bible; and it is hoped that it may be of use both to theological students and to the clergy, as well as to the growing number of educated laymen and laywomen who wish to read the Bible intelligently and reverently.

Each commentary will therefore have

(i) An Introduction stating the bearing of modern criticism and research upon the historical character of the book, and drawing out the contribution which the book, as a whole, makes to the body of religious truth.
