Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Calvin´s Commentary on the Epistle of James, Newly Translated From the Original Latin, Vol. 1: With Notes, Practical, Historical, and Critical In this short epistle of James, you have a specimen of the labours of Calvin. His strength of understanding, concise manner, and nervous style, occasioned no small difficulty in translating this part of his Commentary into English. The learned know, that disruse sentiment is more easily translated than the close, accurate, and sentimental. - Care has been taken to keep as near the original as possible; so far, at least, as the English language would permit. A more elegant and verbose translation might have been given; but the great object with the editors was, to give their author, and not themselves: and they had no hesitation to sacrifice their own fame to honesty and truth. If they have been mistaken in any part, let it be ascribed to inability, and not to design. They will listen with candour, to any improvements suggested, by others better qualified, for an undertaking of this nature, and receive them with gratitude. Calvin is one of those writers who appear a little stiff on the first perusal: but has this special recommendation - that he always improves upon his readers. Some authors please for a moment, and are relished no more: but, the more frequently Calvin´s Commentary is perused, the sensible reader becomes the fonder of it. He always reads to his improvement, and with the greater satisfaction and profit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
