Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Exposition of the Acts of the Apostles: Consisting of an Analysis of Each Chapter, and of a Commentary, Critical, Exegetical, Doctrinal and Moral The Title prefixed to this Treatise on "The Acts," &c., is read differently in different versions and MSS. In some, it is "Acts of Apostles;" in others, "The Acts of the Apostles;" in others, "The Acts of the Holy Apostles" with the addition, "written by Luke, the Evangelist." Owing to this diversity, Critics generally maintain, that the title, admittedly of very high antiquity, was not prefixed by the Sacred writer himself. The Title "The Acts of the Apostles" with the definite article, the, might be calculated to mislead, as conveying that this Treatise was a record, or memoir of the doings of the Apostolic body, which would be erroneous, as it alludes only on a very few occasions to the Apostles as a body. After that, they disappear from view. Besides dwelling on the labours and discourses of Peter and Paul, it briefly refers, in a passing way, to James the Lesser Bishop of Jerusalem, who, after Peter took the most prominent part in the deliberations of the Council of Jerusalem (c. xv.); to James the (greater, put to death by Herod; to John the Evangelist; to Barnabas, who though not reckoned among "the twelve" was still regarded as an Apostle (c. xiv. 4). There is an account also of the beautiful discourse of St. Stephen before the Jewish authorities, his martyrdom in consequence (c. vi.), and of some other Evangelical labourers, who though not of the Apostolic body such as Philip the Deacon, &c., were successfully engaged in the propagation of the Gospel. This Treatise is divided by some eminent Critics (Beelen with others) into two parts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
