Addresses on the Revised Version of Holy Scripture - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

“The object of these Addresses is ‘seriously to suggest the question, whether the time has now arrived for the most general use of the Revised Version at the lectern in the public service of the Church.’ It is a question that is being suggested by several of the leading scholars in the Church of England. Dr. Ellicott’s method of emphasizing the matter is the best method possible. In the first two Addresses he traces the history of Revision; in the third he describes the Hebrew and Greek text used by the Revisers; in the fourth he explains the reason for some of the more questioned renderings; and the in the fifth he draws the whole together and shows the great reasonableness of his desire. There is no man living who can do this work with more authority; and no man could do it with more kindly consideration.” -The Expository Times, Volume 13, 1901

“The veteran scholar and theologian has given us, in lucid and dignified language, the history of the Revision, a defense of its faithfulness, and a plea for its use in churches. In this plea the Bishop speaks as well as the scholar, and his earnest sincerity has as much weight as his temperate reasoning. Not the least important part of the addresses are the practical directions about the proper way of introducing the use of the Revised Version into the services of a church. In this chapter, perhaps especially, the reader will admire the wisdom of a spiritual Father, who loves the brethren as he desires the glory of God.” -The Church Quarterly Review, Volume 57, 1903
