Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Beginnings of Christianity:, The Acts of the Apostles, Vol. 1 More than twenty years have elapsed since Kirsopp Lake and I agreed in a conversation in the University of Leiden that an exhaustive study of the Acts of the Apostles was necessary in order to prepare for a right understanding of the history of the Christian Church. We had arrived at the conclusion that, despite the noble labours of many generations of scholars, and the light thrown on the book by antiquarians, the real problem of Acts as an historical even more than a religious document had to be faced. Impressed by the magnitude of the task, we resolved to secure the aid of the most competent scholars we could command. We were fortunate in securing the support of Messrs. Macmillan and Co. as publishers, for whose generosity in producing these volumes without regard to anything but to the excellence of the work we can never be sufficiently grateful. Our undertaking began in Cambridge, where I was fortunate enough to obtain the co-operation of Professor Burkitt, who consented to preside at a Seminar, which was largely attended by scholars of the most varied interests in the University, not only theological, but historical, classical, mathematical, and Oriental. Visitors were often present from Oxford, London, and different parts of England; and, as the minutes kept by me as Secretary of the Seminar show, the United States and Canada were not unrepresented. Lake paid frequent visits from Leiden, where he held a professorial chair, to watch the progress of our deliberations.
