Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Saint Paul´s Epistles to the Colossians and to Philemon: A Revised Text, With Introductions, Notes and Dissertations On the completion of another volume of my commentary, I wish again to renew my thanks for the assistance received from previous labourers in the same field. Such obligations must always be great; but it is not easy in a few words to apportion them fairly, and I shall not make the attempt. I have not consciously neglected any aid which might render this volume more complete; but at the same time I venture to hope that my previous commentaries have established my claim to be regarded as an independent worker, and in the present instance more especially I have found myself obliged to diverge widely from the treatment of my predecessors, and to draw largely from other materials than those which they have collected. In the preface to a previous volume I expressed an intention of appending to my commentary on the Colossian Epistle an essay on ´Christianity and Gnosis.´ This intention has not been fulfilled in the letter; but the subject enters largely into the investigation of the Colossian heresy, where it receives as much attention as, at all events for the present, it seems to require. It will necessarily come under discussion again, when the Pastoral Epistles are taken in hand. The question of the genuineness of the two epistles contained in this volume has been deliberately deferred.
