Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Collected Writings of Edward Irving, Vol. 2 of 5 These verses are to the narrative which follows, of precisely the same import as the date is to a letter or any official document, ascertaining the precise time, place, and circumstances, under which the wonderful events that follow began their course; and, therefore, instead of being slightly passed over as an uninteresting enumeration of names with which the mind refuses to be burdened, they should be used by the expounder of the record, for that very purpose for which they were set down by the writer, as affording a clue by which to ascertain the veracity of the narrator, and the certainty of the things narrated. Therefore, though it may not be so agreeable to many ears to discourse of historical fact and evidence, as of orthodoxy, doctrine, and religious experience, yet, seeing the thing must sometimes be done for the conviction of the gainsayer and the knowledge of all, I hesitate not to treat of that of which the evangelist has written; of the circumstances of place and time; and the evidence thence to be derived of the character of the narrator and the things narrated. The verses draw our attention to the state of Judæa at the time when the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness. To understand the civil or political state of Judæa at this time, it is necessary to go back nearly two hundred years, when the connexion between the Jews and the Romans commenced.
