Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Critical and Exegetical: Hand-Book to the Epistle to the Romans In Dr. Dickson´s General Preface to the English Translation of Meyer´s Commentary on the New Testament, which is placed at the beginning of the volumes on the Epistle to the Romans, the following sentences descriptive of its character are found. "In estimating the character and value of Dr. Meyer´s work, it is essential that we should always bear in mind the precise standpoint from which it is written. That is simply and solely the standpoint of the exegete, who endeavours in the exercise of his own independent judgment to arrive, by the use of the proper means, at the historical sense of Scripture. His object is not to seek support for the doctrines, nor does he bind himself or regulate his operations by the definitions or decisions, of any particular church. On the contrary, he reaches his results by a purely exegetical process, and places them, when so found, at the disposal of the Church." In other words, his Commentary is what an exegetical commentary ought to be. For this reason, the introduction of this work, a few years since, to the knowledge of English and American students of the New Testament who had no acquaintance with the language in which it was originally written, was an event of much significance in the progress of Biblical learning. In our own country, by reason of the peculiar circumstances of our history, the study of Theology began, and for a long period was carried forward, almost wholly on the doctrinal and philosophical side. A few scholars, indeed, like Moses Stuart and Josiah W. Gibbs, investigated the Scriptures in the purely exegetical way, and thus became leaders in the right path. But it is only within the last quarter of a century that such investigation has made its great advaice movement among us and assumed for itself its proper relative position. That the effect of German scholarship in this department of study has been greatly beneficial to our Theology cannot be questioned.
