Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expositor, 1891, Vol. 3 IN the expositor Of last July there appeared an article from the present writer entitled, Did\ St. Paul Use a Semitic Gospel9 That article was confessed to be a mere side issue to a much wider theme Of investigation; and though complete in itself, and of great importance, as seeming to prove that the words Of the Lord Jesus existed in written form during the fifties Of the first century, yet the stability of its positions must ultimately repose upon the establishment, on other grounds, of the wider ques tion, Was the Gospel wholly or partially first written in Aramaic? If the reader was conscious of a slight z'x'afepov wpdtgpov in the process of argument, it may perhaps be condoned by the fact that the order of discovery is not always the order of logic. The task then to which we wish to address ourselves in a series of articles about to appear in this magazine is to prove the existence of an Aramaic Gospel embedded in our present Gospels, and to unveil its contents. The method of research pursued in our investi gations is certainly aself-originated and independent, and though we shall occasionally come upon the track of other explorers, we shall for the most part strike out a path for ourselves.

Download or read book The Expositor Vol 4 Classic Reprint written by W. Robertson Nicoll and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 4 That fim/tia. Here may mean age rather than stature must of course be admitted; but stature is more prob able, for to say of a boy that he advanced in age is rather an empty truism. In Luke xix. 3 fihmia certainly means stature, and it possibly does so in xii. 25, the only other place in which St. Luke uses the word. And it is perhaps not altogether fanciful to believe that growth in stature would be the point of interest to the beloved physician. Nevertheless, for the question before us, it is not of very much moment whether we adopt the rendering stature or age. There is quite enough in the words and in the context to Show that mania. And o-ocin'a together cover the whole of the physical, intellectual, moral, and spiritual development which was taking place in Jesus during the years which followed the visit to the Temple at Jerusalem. The statement contains two pairs of words, and on the whole the two pairs balance one another. Wisdom and stature balance God and men. And not only so, but the separate members of each pair to a considerable extent correspond. We are probably to understand that in the main it was the advance in aodufa which caused Him to advance in favour with God, and the advance in oimm'a which caused Him to advance in favour with men.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 3: Second Series On this principle let us proceed to examine a certain text, 1 Corinthians v. 1, dim-e vyvmixd 'rwa Exetv, Where the trans lation in the Authorised Version that one should have his father's wife has been altered into that one of you hath his father's wife. Is this new rendering grammatically possible on the principle stated above Just as grammati cally possible as to translate '5e in apodosis he hath is grammatically possible. For it has been shewn that (5076 has in itself no governing power, is in itself but an index, a mere fingerpost or stepping-stone conducting to some verb or other beyond it, whether to exet or to 55'e or to 5x0; or to exoa c'iy, what cares (307's '2 The particle is supremely indifferent, probably quite unconscious, neither knowing nor caring to know whether it guides the reader to an infinitive or to an indicative or even to an optative with or without c'iv. Hence it appears that the 3xe in this text is not at all governed or controlled by 63076, but simply indicated by it. The infinitive, in fact, if an infinitive which denotes what is conceptional and not what is actual can be said to stand at all, stands by itself. That the a'ic-re and the e'xew are in construction independent of each other, may be further shewn by the frequent absence of this par tiole before the infinitive, for instance New or pafie'iv, just as in English to wit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expository Times, Vol. 3: October 1891-September 1892 This is what is meant by the loving of Jacob and the hating of Esau. In the original, to which St. Paul is referring (mal. I. 2 Esau is simply a synonym for Edom, and so Jacob stands as the head and representative of the nation of Israel. It was of God's absolute choice that the one was raised to higher privileges than the other. But that has nothing to do with their eternal salvation. Nor is it different when the reference is to an individual. The raising up of Pharaoh (rom. Ix. 17) is his introduction upon the stage of history. It lies in the Divine will why this particular man was chosen to be king of Egypt at that special time - a man of a hardened heart. But the hardening itself was due to Pharaoh's own disobedience.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Expositor, Vol. 3 SO many similar and equally hopeful enterprises having failed, it was a somewhat bold venture to start a Magazine devoted solely to the exposition of Holy Writ. It was still more bold, perhaps, to dispense with the usual arts of pufiing, promising, advertising, and leave the Magazine to make its own way, on its own merits, as best it could. I am happy to say, however, that the venture has already won a success which outstrips the expectations of those who started it; so that there is no longer any need for kindly critics to express the somewhat damaging and depressing hope that it may meet with such a measure of success as will encourage the Editor and Publishers to go on with it. We fully intend to go on with it, and to spare no pains to make it more worthy of public approval and support. It has had a remunerative circulation from the very first; and that circulation is still gradually, and therefore it may be hoped the more surely, increasing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 1: January, 1906 ON the completion of twenty-one years' occupancy of the editorial chair of the expositor, I may be allowed to write a few words of preface to the new series. I do not intend to survey the history of the periodical in detail, nor, tempting as the subject is, Shall I essay any close record of the changes in religious thought during these years. I shall only indicate as brie y as possible the intention with which the expositor has been carried on, and will be conducted in the future. Much might be said of the long and splendid list of contributors. Among them are in cluded many of the most prominent scholars of this country, of the United States, and of the Continent. Among the dead I remember many with special affection and gratitude among them Lightfoot, Westcott, Godet, A. B. Davidson, Milligan and Henry Drummond. Not a few of the most im portant books of the period have been reprinted in whole or in part from the expositor, including works by Professor W. M. Ramsay, Professor George Adam Smith, and many more. The investigations first appearing in the expositor are referred to in every standard commentary and diction ary, while the volumes have their place in theological libraries all over the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expositor, 1878, Vol. 8 It is this new and larger conviction which gives form and colour to the thoughts recorded in the Chapter before us. True, he does not once utter that assured hope of a life beyond the grave which found such splendid expression in the closing Verses of Chapter xix. But, as I have just said, that hope was based on the conviction that the present life is not strictly and adequately retributive; and it is t/zz's conviction, still new and strange to his mind, on which his thoughts now work, seeking to define and formulate it. So that if, for the present, he says nothing more of the great hope which had brought light into his darkness, if he seems to sink to a lower level of meditation, lze sinks on{y to 1113 level on w/zz'c/z l'zz's Izapa rests is at work on t/ze basis on w/zz'c/z it stands, making it more solid and strong.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 3: Third Series; With Etching of Professor Franz Delitzsch, by H. Manesse If we look at the circumstances of the Hebrews a little more closely we shall notice that the severity of their trials came in a great degree from mistaken devoutness. They had determined, in obedience to traditional opinion, what Scripture should mean, and they found it hard to enter into its wider teaching. They had determined that institutions which were of Divine appointment must be permanent, and they found it hard to grasp the realities by which the forms of the older worship were replaced. They had determined that Christ's sovereignty should be openly vindicated by the victorious faith of God's people, and they found it hard to hold their belief firm against the general unbelief of their fellow-countrymen.

Download or read book The Expositor Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Samuel Cox and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 2 It is impossible for any one to invent a tale whose scene lies in a foreign land without betraying in slight details his ignorance of the scenery and circumstances amid which the event is described as taking place. Unless the writer studiously avoids details, and confines himself to names and generalities, he is certain to commit numerous errors. Even the most laborious and minute study of the circumstances of the country in which is to lay his scene will not preserve him from such errors. He must live long and observe carefully in the country, if he wishes to invent a tale which will not betray his ignorance in numberless details. Allusions of French or German authors to English life supply the readiest illustration of this principle. Even after all the study has been expended on classical writers, I will engage to prove it in detail from almost any commentary on a Greek or Roman author, where the commentator ventures beyond mere linguistic exposition of his text. Even to relate an incident that has actually occurred in a foreign land is no easy task for one who has not actually witnessed it. The one chance of safety for a writer in such a case lies in faithfully reproducing the narrative of an eyewitness. As soon as he ventures to write from an independent point, and to modify the account of his authority, he is certain to import into his version some of those slight inaccuracies that betray the foreigner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expositor, 1904, Vol. 9 And now, just because we desire, in the spirit of this prayer, to strengthen in ourselves and others a truly spiritual faith, and with a View to this, to get to the heart of the older Bible, it is our duty to listen to voices which call us back for a time to preliminary tasks as yet imperfectly accomplished. By all means let us, each and all, make what contributions we can to the higher exegesis, but let no one think it superfluous to scrutinize somewhat closely the text on which we still for the most part base our critical work. To the comparative soundness of parts it is hardly safe to speak more definitely - of the received text, I hear my testimony no one who has passed through the school of the great period now closed can do otherwise. And yet it is only too possible that some, or even many, parts may have been only half understood owing to a super ficiality and anarrowness in our use of critical method. The mere suspicion of this ought to make us nobly discon tented, and if it can be proved that there is more than a mere suspicion of it, we ought not to rest till we have begun the hard work of a re-examination of the texts. In the bracing air of a new century We ought not to feel any task beyond our powers, knowing that God, who allots to each century its task, can so intensify our will that we shall be able to do better than what has hitherto been deemed our best.
