Présentation de l'éditeur

Preface to Second Edition When the author published the first edition of the present work, it was never contemplated that there should be a second edition. For that reason the first edition consisted of two thousand copies, and it was supposed that many of these would be among the authors effects at his death. But the success of the work was beyond hope. The edition was exhausted in the spring of 1907, and the Author was urged to publish a new edition. Believing that the re-publication of the work will aid Christ scause, the author takes up the heavy task of revising it. The general plan of the work is preserved. The Greek texts of the Four Gospels are arranged in the form of a harmony. A literal English translation accompanies the Greek text, and is arranged in the same way. By such method of arrangement the life of Christ, his words and deeds, become one connected narrative, and the statements of every Evangelist become fuller and clearer, being supplemented by the parallel passages of the others. Every important variant is given in the critical examination of the text, and the authorities are discussed. On the text thus harmonized is built what the author hopes will prove a clear and comprehensive Commentary. Every question legitimately arising out of the Gospel narrative is treated at length. But while the authors aim has been to give a critical commentary, special attention has been given to adapt the book to pulpit use. Hence the moral application of the events, words, and deeds is made a main feature of the wrork.
