Excerpt from Philo's Contribution to ReligionThe Fathers of the Church availed them selves of Philo's method for their own pur poses. The Old Testament had already proved one of the most powerful instruments in the Christian mission. It had to a large extent provided the new faith with a religious vocabulary. It formed the background of those conceptions which, in writings like the Epistles of St. Paul and the Fourth Gospel, created the basis ...

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve ...

Excerpt from The Theology of the EpistlesThis volume scarcely requires a preface, as the method which has been followed in discussing the subject is fully described in the Introduction. One matter alone calls for remark. I have deliberately refrained from dealing with the thought of the J ohannine Epistles, because that could not be adequately treated apart from the Fourth Gospel. All students of theology are aware that any such discussion mus...

Excerpt from Sources of New Testament Greek: The Influence of the Septuagint on the Vocabulary of the New TestamentThe study of Language, like all other provinces of investigation, has been in¿uenced to a high degree by the modern scientific spirit. Not that this in¿uence has come from Without and forced itself upon philological inquiry. The process has been evolved from within, and under conditions marked for it by the principles inherent in ...

Excerpt from St. Paul and the Mystery-ReligionsAs a matter of fact, the chief defect in the process is the failure to be sufficiently rigorous in the application of the historical method.

No more fitting summary of the account given in Acts of the Early Christian movement could be found than the words of chap. xix. 20: 'So mightily did the message of the Lord grow and prevail.' The book intends to be a narrative of the victorious progress of the good news of Christ. Even those elements in it which fail to appeal to us were influential at the close of the first century A.D. This was what Christianity had achieved. It had come to...

Ours is an age of new things. In no province is this more apparent than in that of New Testament interpretation. And no section of the New Testament continues to stimulate more revolutionary theories than the Pauline Epistles. It is true that discussions of authenticity have lost the importance assigned to them by scholars of the earlier time, like Baur, or by later critical investigators, like Van Manen. The emphasis has been shifted. The pri...

In the preface to his Essays in Biblical Greek, the late Dr. Hatch speaks of these as being designed "to point out to students of sacred literature some of the rich fields which have not yet been adequately explored, and to offer suggestions for their exploration." This book is an attempt to deal with some of the matters which formed the subject of Dr. Hatch's investigation, and, indeed, owes its origin to the results at which that most indepe...

The contribution which Philo of Alexandria made to spiritual religion has been largely overlooked, because attention has been focused on the philosophical significance of his thought. This was the aspect of his writings which won for him the interest of the Christian Fathers.
