Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from St. Paul´s Epistle to the Galatians The object of this Commentary, as of the series to which it belongs, is to treat the Epistle to the Galatians in a way which will be intelligible to the general reader. It assumes on his part no technical acquaintance with Theology, or with Greek, but at the same time the attempt has been made to discuss the questions which arise fully and frankly in the light of modern scholarship. Only when we realize what St. Paul´s words meant to himself and his contemporaries can we understand what is their message for us to-day. It happens that this Epistle lends itself well to a non technical treatment, since there are few passages in it where the reader of ordinary intelligence cannot form his own opinion, once he is put in possession of the necessary data. This is particularly the case with regard to the crucial question of the date of the Epistle and its relation to the narrative of the Acts. Perhaps this Commentary may justify its existence as being, so far as the writer is aware, the first which is based on the view that the Epistle was written before the Apostolic Council. It is never easy for a commentator to state the exact measure of his indebtedness to earlier writers. If he has tried conscientiously to work through his material for himself, what he has been able to bring is inextricably blended with, and indeed grows out of, what he has learnt from others, and he can no longer clearly disentangle the two elements. But I would express my sense of the supreme value of Lightfoot´s Commentary, and the debt I owe to it; side by side with this must stand the illuminating researches and suggestions of Sir William Ramsay, particularly with regard to the South Galatian theory, which he has done so much to commend to scholars. The exhaustive Commentary of Zahn, and the slighter work of Lietzmann have helped me much, and I have found Lukyn Williams, in the Cambridge Greek Testament, especially valuable for its illustrations from Jewish writings.
