Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Commentary on the Book of Isaiah, Critical, Historical, and Prophetical: Including a Revised English Translation With Introduction and Appendices on the Nature of Scripture Prophecy, the Life and Times of Isaiah, the Genuineness of the Later Prophecies, the Structure and History of the Whole Book, the Assyrian History in Isaia The following Commentary needs a few words of preface, to explain how it arose, and the form in which it appears, with some further and fuller remarks on its distinguishing features, and the objects which have been chiefly kept in view in its preparation. In the spring of 1864, on the lamented death of Dr M´Caul, I received an earnest request from the Editor of the Speaker´s Commentary, and also from the Archbishop of York, to undertake the Book of Isaiah, which had been allotted to that eminent scholar. An earlier request, to undertake some book or other of the Old Testament still unoccupied, had been declined by me a few months before. But tills fell in so much with my own previous studies, and was so attractive in its own nature, from my strong hope that I could throw some fresh light on the internal harmony of the whole book, that I felt it my duty to accept the task. From April, 1864 to June, 1865 was devoted almost exclusively to its fulfilment. The MS. notes were then committed to the publisher and editor, as there was a delay I had not expected in the progress of the general work. I intended to give them a last revision, when the time drew near, and then to complete the introduction, and add some Appendices. Meanwhile I was called to other duties, and occupied partly with publishing three other works, designed for the defence of Christian truth. In the spring of 1869 the Editor sent me a copy of his Excursus on Exodus for private criticism, and at the same time said that the first part of the Commentary would be ready at the close of that year.
