Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Introduction to the New Testament, Vol. 1 The Public is here presented with the translation of a work, which is held in high estimation in Germany, a country at present the most distinguished in Europe for theological learning. The first edition, which appeared in 1750, the only one that exists in an English translation, though it met with a favourable reception, is in all respects inferior to the present. The learned labours of our celebrated author, during almost forty years that have elapsed between the publication of the first and the fourth edition printed in 1788, have not only produced such an increase of materials, as to render it at least six times as voluminous as the former, but have had very material influence on our author´s sentiments, with respect to several important points of biblical criticism. In a letter, with which he honoured the translator, he calls his first performance the work of a novice, and in the short preface prefixed to the German original of the fourth edition, he expresses himself in the following modest and sensible manner. ´Whenever I reflect on the year 1750, when the first edition of this Introduction appeared, which I published at that time chiefly as a guide for my academical lectures, and compare it with the more complete editions of 1765, and 1777, I feel a satisfaction, and even a degree of astonishment, at the progress of learning in the present age: and as during the last ten years in particular the most rapid advances have been made in literature, the present edition of this work, which is a kind of general repository, has received a proportional increase.
