Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Critical English Testament, Vol. 2: Being an Adaptation of Bengel´s Gnomon, With Numerous Notes, Showing the Precise Results of Modern Criticism and Exegesis This book, wherein Luke relates the Acts of the Apostles, and more especially of Peter and Paul, is central in the New Testament, standing as it does between the Gospels and the Epistles. It contains not only a recapitulation of the Gospel history, but a continuation of the life of Christ, the fulfilment of His predictions, and, in a certain sense, a supplement by means of those things which, by the Paraclete, He imparted in fuller measure to the previously less established disciples. See specially John xvi. 12, 13. It contains also the root and stem of all those matters treated of in the Epistles. The Gospels treat of Christ, the Head; the Acts exhibit the occurrence of like things in His Body, which is quickened by His Spirit, harassed by the world, defended and exalted by God. A summary of this is contained in Eph. i. 20, 22. And the departure of Christ and coming of the Holy Spirit give the Acts a closer resemblance to the Epistles than to the Gospels. Chrysostom, in his introductory homily on this book, testifies to the fact of its having been, in his day, entirely unknown to many. Would that, in our day, it received the attention which it demands. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
