The literary intention of this volume is sufficiently declared in the opening paragraph, and need not be foreshadowed in a preface ;but as the authors deeper motive may be called in question, he takes the liberty to say a word or two in more particular explanation. The thought has occurred to him on reading over what he has written, as a casual reader might, that, in his solicitude to make his positions perfectly clear, and to state his points concisely, he may have laid himself open to the charge of carrying on a controversy under the pretence of explaining a literature. Such a reproach, his heart tells him, would be undeserved. He disclaims all purpose and desire to weaken the moral supports of any form of religion ;as little purpose or desire to undermine Christianity, as to revive Judaism. It is his honest belief that no genuine interests of religion are compromised by scientific or literary studies ;that religion is independent of history, that Christianity is independent of theN ew Testament.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes a unique literary approach to the New Testament, viewing it as a continuation of the tradition and literature of the Hebrew people. It argues that the New Testament must not be read as a collection of texts in isolation but rather as a reflection of the themes and ideas of its time and place. By situating it within its broader context, the book explores the development of the Messianic idea and the profound insights into spirituality and faith that emerged during this period of intense intellectual and religious activity. The author's analysis provides a fresh perspective on the origins and significance of the Christian scriptures, shedding light on their enduring importance and relevance to the human experience.
