Synopsis

""An Introduction to the New Testament"" is a comprehensive guide to the study of the New Testament, written by Benjamin Wisner Bacon. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the historical, cultural, and religious context of the New Testament, including discussions of the various books and their authors, as well as the social and political climate in which they were written. Bacon also explores the theological themes and messages of the New Testament, and offers insights into the ways in which these texts have been interpreted and understood throughout history. The book is intended for scholars, students, and anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the New Testament and its significance for contemporary religious thought and practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Pauline. In the one point wherein the Tubingen critics were nearer to early tradition than most of their present opponents, the Johannine authorship of Revelation, I am compelled by the external evidence, which with them counted for so little, to go their way. Contrariwise, in the anonymous historical books my personal study has led to the conviction that our present gospels and A cts are the outcome of a longer and more complex process of growth than most critics admit. The problems of the Synoptic and Johannine Tradition, more especially that of the special sources of our third gospel and A cts, in connection with theories of the Western Text, defied all attempts at concise statement of accepted results in proper relation to personal conviction. In the dilemma between justice to views which have obtained the sanction of the greatest modern scholars and to the solution which has finally commended itself to me as true, I have thrown myself upon the reviewers mercy (reviewers are supposed to read prefaces), stating my results, though forced to do so with a baldness painfully suggestive of egotistic self-confidence. Yet I can but hope that some of the departures will be found to be not a going aside from the course of sober criticism, but, to some extent, in advance of it. The aim at least has been to set down nothing as fact which is in conflict with accepted results, noras probable to which these do not appear to be leading up.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Even the mere outline, which alone is pos sible in the narrowly prescribed space, might be made fairly complete if technical terminology, abbreviation, and the presuppositions admissible among experts were allowable. But to be easy and readable in a tenth of the space required and, at the same time, convey a true impression, is difficult. One must watch and pray not to tell half-truths. Nor can one, even so, be content merely to revamp for a different circle what is familiar to scholars in the great treatises. I have not been deterred from presenting views which are peculiar to myself when these seemed best to set forth the results toward which critical science is tending, by the consciousness that adequate presentation of my reasons is precluded. Scholars will recognise what is new. If valuable, they will adopt it; if disapproved, they will bring it into the arena of debate, where opportunity will be given for completer discussion. In the writings which name their authors, independent study has led me to results more conservative than those of leading critics.
