Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Essays in Modern Theology and Related Subjects: Gathered and Published as a Testimonial to Charles Augustus Briggs, D.D., D. Litt; On the Completion of His Seventieth Year, January 15, 1911 This volume is offered to Professor Charles Augustus Briggs by a little group of his pupils and colleagues, with the addition of only two or three other close friends. It is a testimonial of their personal affection, as well as of their sense of obligation to the veteran scholar and teacher, and they have chosen as its occasion his completion of seventy years of life, not because they do not hope for him many more years of fruitful work, but because this anniversary recalls to them his long and notable service, and reminds them afresh of all they owe to the stimulus of his untiring energy, his patient research, his fearlessness in proclaiming truth, his warm personal sympathy and his quick response to every demand made upon his stores of knowledge and the treasures - often unsuspected - of his warm and valiant heart. They are glad that he should have now, while his vigour is yet unabated, this attestation of their regard. Professor Briggs has been versatile in his own work, and his intellectual interests have been so many, that the range of topic appropriate to this volume has not been confines to a single department of theological study, nor indeed limited at all to the theological disciplines in the strict sense of term. The foundation of his varied learning, after school-boy days, was laid more than fifty years ago, at the University of Virginia, where the system of regulated liberty in the choice of studies and of high exaction in scholarly standard gave room to his eagerness for acquisition, and a noble measure to his estimates of attainment.
