Excerpt from An Introduction to the New Testament
The main lines that I have pursued in my treatment of the Introduction to the New Testament were laid down for me by the editorial conditions of this series.1 In order not to trans gress these lines I have kept back a good deal that I would otherwise gladly have put forward in defence of my views. Nevertheless, the book is more voluminous than I could wish. The second and third parts, containing the history of the Canon and of the text, are mostly to blame for this; I was least willing to be sparing on this subject, because, as a rule, it is held of too little account, whereas an insight into the growth of the Canon and the text is calculated more than any thing else to bring about a healthy conception of theological problems.

The idea of competing with a work like Holtzmann sI ntroduction has naturally never occurred to me. As before, his book will remain indispensable for exhaustive studies in this branch of science. All I have desired has been to furnish an introduction to Holtzmann and toW eizsacker, and to stimulate the interest of students towards yet further study. The expert will not fail to detect that I often quietly expound other peoples views while appearing only to advance my own ;and everyone knows that what I have brought forward in this book has been gradually accumulated by the faithful labour of whole generations and has not been 1G rundriss dcr Theologischen Wissenschaften, J.
