Description
Excerpt from The Teaching of the Apostles: Newly Edited, With Fascimile Text and a Commentary, for the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore
The rest of the book is an attempt on the part of the Editor to gather up the results of the criticism bestowed upon the text of the Teaching during the past four years. Much of what has been said on the subject is, of necessity, volatile; but the solidities of interpretative criticism are beginning to appear, and the time must be nearly come for their collection. No attempt, however, is made to repeat everything true that has been said on the subject; nor to trace every detail of exact statement to the first person who put it in print. To do so would be to make a mere study of origins out of a labour of love.
A received text of the Teaching is happily almost ours, a received commentary does not enter into the dream of the most audacious of critics; and the Editor is so sensible of his own imperfect discipline in theological matters, that he only asks that the interpretations which he presents may meet with a continuance of the tolerant judgment which has been shewn to his previous efforts by those who are better scholars than he For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according as a man hath, not according as he hath not.
