Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Epistles of St. Paul, Vol. 2: With Introductions and Commentary for Priests and Students It is hardly customary to write a Preface to the second volume of a work, and yet in the present instance a few introductory words may not be out of place. First of all, several years have intervened since the publication of our first volume on the Epistles of St. Paul. This we have much regretted, but we can only say that the delay has been unavoidable. A work like this requires prolonged study and concentration, which many other duties and pressing occupations have made generally impossible for years, to say nothing of the interruptions often caused by physical infirmities. But since we have been teaching these Epistles in the Seminary all along, we trust that the lapse of years has enriched our knowledge and thus made more serviceable the volume we now offer to the public. The delay in its appearance has enabled us to take account of the latest and best works that have come out on the different Epistles. In the second place, we would say that the method followed in this second volume is precisely the same as that adopted in the first volume of this work, with the exception that here we have made use of the valuable suggestion offered by The Irish Ecclesiastical Record in its review of Volume I, and so have revised the Douay-Challoner text of the Epistles wherever it was notably obscure or out of harmony with the best Greek reading. Corresponding corrections have likewise been indicated for the Latin Vulgate. Such revision has helped to save space in the comments, though many times we have still had to deal in the notes with different readings and difficulties of text. If all priests only knew St. Paul thoroughly, they would find little trouble in preaching, for he is an inexhaustible ocean of doctrine, most elevated and sublime as well as most practical and useful for every phase of the Christian life. May this work contribute to a better and more ready understanding of the great Apostle and of the vast riches of his heavenly teaching!
