Book The Expositor  Vol  3  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Expositor Vol 3 Classic Reprint written by W. Robertson Nicoll and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 3 For the word fulfilment, then, we might substitute, as we mean rather that, the realization of prophecy. Thus, for instance, when in the first Gospel we have over and over again, as was natural in a Gospel written for Jewish readers, the expression that it might be fulfilled which was spoken, we may very well paraphrase that for ourselves that there might be a realization of that which was spoken. This will help us a little in solving the difficulty which troubles some minds when St. Matthew or St. Paul adopts Rabbinic modes of explanation of the older Scriptures. The writer, without discussing the legitimacy of the mode of interpretation, is appealing to his hearers on their own grounds. Here, he says, you can see a realization of what your own teachers have practically taught you to expect.

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.

Book The Expositor s Greek Testament  Vol  3  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Expositor s Greek Testament Vol 3 Classic Reprint written by W. Robertson Nicoll and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expositor's Greek Testament, Vol. 3 I. In the case of no book of the New Testament is it more essential to a true understanding of its language, that we should have a clear view of the circumstances under which it was composed, than in the case of 2 Corinthians. It is the most autobiographical of all St. Paul's letters, and it abounds in personal allusions, which it is difficult, at this distance of time, to appreciate, and of which some will probably always remain obscure. It glows with the heat of fervid life,1 and was evidently written under the influence of strong emotion. And, if we do not assign it to its true place in St. Paul's life, we are likely to miss a good deal of the force of its earnest and eager words. It is, therefore, desirable to enter into more detail as to the occasion of its composition than was necessary in the case of a treatise like the Epistle to the Romans, the argu ments of which are largely independent of the circumstances of the author at the time when it was written.

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. 3: Second Series On this principle let us proceed to examine a certain text, 1 Corinthians v. 1, than fyvmixd Twa exew, 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 e'xew in apodosis he hath is grammatically possible. For it has been shewn that die-re 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 e'xet or to fie or to 33't or to 5x0; c'iv, what cares (tic-re '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 exew in this text is not at all governed or controlled by June, 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 6501's 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 paee'iv, just as in English to wit.

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.

Though when the first lonely exile was here carried to his grave, this quiet spot seemed full far secluded from the haunts of the living, the tide of population from this growing city is sweeping beyond it and surging up around its peaceful retreats. The city authorities have given orders for the removal of the dead and for converting this into a public square. For a burial place so recent, it is already populous with dead. Six years ago, nearly five thousand were resting there in peace. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 22 There is grace as well as truth in these creative words which has not always been observed. For it was a delicate situation which one less gracious and refined would almost certainly have spoiled. But both by gesture and by judg ment all His own He bore it up into a region in which the natural bonds of home and kindred were transcended but not destroyed, and in which everything was made to rest upon the spiritual principle of the practice of the will of God. Where that Obtained, there was the basis as there were the bonds of a holy family in truth, potentially as vast as the human family itself. So without a hint of censure or even of impatience towards His too obtrusive friends He simply re-affirmed His principle in relation to the family, His own and every other, making it consist of those, the old and young alike, who chose to do the Father's will and who in conse quence were bound to Him by ties as dear as those of mother, sister brother. These were His next of kin in fact and fully, who, m the words of thefourth Evangelist, were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. It was no doubt upon the same occasion that a certain woman catching sight of Jesus' mother lifted up her voice and broke into fervent praises of her blessedness. And once again, without disclaiming aught of the truth extolled, Jesus took and changed it into a form in keeping with his master-thought.

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.

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.

They heard the Gospel from the lips of Evangelists; and if they wanted Scriptures, had they not the Law and the Prophets, all of whom bore witness to Christ? And these Scriptures of the Old Testament were the Scriptures which the Apostles constantly quoted, -these and no other. Whether it be Peter who speaks, or Paul, you find him for ever basing himself on the Hebrew Scriptures - citing Moses, or David, Isaiah, Joel, or Jeremiah. Whether they speak to Jews or to Gentiles, the Apostles have no other Scriptures but these; but these are for ever in their hearts and on their lips.

Oh their behalf I sanctify myself, in order that they too may be sanctified in truth. Their Lord has sent them forth into the world, even as He had Himself been sent forth for this mission they must be sanctified to this they were designated by their title of apostles. By way of prelude and pre liminary trial He had already sent them out (see especially Matt. Let this sanctification be realized in Christ's present servants and take effect, it is possible then to fore see those who will believe through their word (v. For whom He will ask that they also may be grafted into the Divine fellowship of which these His brethren are par takers. Let this process of sanctification continue, extend ing from the Head to the multiplying members, and the filial union of men with Christ in God will embrace a wider and yet wider circle, until the day appears when, as J esas assures Himself before the Father, the world, that now proclaims Him a blasphemer, shall believe that thou didst send me (o. When the authority given to Him over all flesh shall be made good and Jesus shall be Lord of the full heritage which is His right amongst men It is evident therefore that our blessed Lord looked to the sanctification of Christian men, under the action of the Holy Spirit (xv. 26 as the means of the world's conversion to faith in Him. Here He discovered the aggressive, assimilative principle of His religion, that which should give to Christianity its positive character in this lies its working energy, its propulsive force.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 5 This is a superficially attractive and a deeply disappointing book. It has such gift of phrase that one thinks it might easily have been a work of art, but it is not. And it has such flashes of insight that one looks to it for fresh and real teaching, but gets nothing of the sort. Let us linger for a moment with the style, meaning thereby the expression of thought, and not such slips as that by which in the first sentence of chapter viii. a verb is left without a nominative. There is an unpleasant flavour of Renan, in his most sugary mood, in the expression which tells us about Jesus "in a moment of fine inspiration" (p. 117). Of course, if this expresses Dr. Watson's settled opinion, it is not with the style that we must quarrel.
