Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gnomon of the New Testament, Vol. 1 It is quite superfluous to write in praise of the Gnomon of Bengel. Ever since the year in which it was first published, A.D. 1742, up to the present time, it has been growing in estimation, and has been more and more widely circulated among the scholars of all countries. Though modern criticism has furnished many valuable additions to our materials for New Testament exegesis, yet, in some respects, Bengel stands out still "facile princeps" among all who have laboured, or who as yet labour, in that important field. He is unrivalled in felicitous brevity, combined with what seldom accompanies that excellence, namely, perspicuity. Terse, weighty, and suggestive, he often, as a modern writer observes," condenses more matter into a line, than can be extracted from pages of other writers." This condensation of style requires that the reader should have his attention always on the alert, and never presume that any remark is without point Bengel´s parallel references to Scripture are never common-place and superficial, and ought to be in all cases looked for, as being often equivalent to an able and lengthened comment. His use of italics, for the most part, has relation to the ipsissima verba of the text or context. Deeply imbued with a holy reverence for all the Written Word, he employs quotations of it in a way which opens out to the diligent student new and rich mines of thought in the Sacred Volume. The notes are not to be read isolated from their connection: they form a continuous thread, guiding the earnest and prayerful reader through the pleasant pastures of the Word, and by the still waters of comfort.
