Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 9 of 5 Socrates relates of Eunomius that he composed a commentary on the Epistle to the Romans in seven books, but, "though he spent many words, failed to seize the gist of the Epistle." Many words have been spent by better men since then upon the same task, and if complete success has not even yet been obtained, the gist of the Epistle is perhaps clearer now than it was. The following papers will attempt to focus some results of the process upon such vital elements of the problem as seem as yet incompletely solved. Their aim will be to grasp a few determining conceptions, the result of years of thought upon the Epistle, round its leading difficulties; and where questions not ripe for an answer arise, at any rate to attempt a statement of the exact problem involved. I. To sift preliminary questions such as are dealt with in "Introductions" is outside my present purpose.1 The questions, who? when? where? to whom? why? what? open up, in reference to our Epistle, exceptionally wide fields of inquiry.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 9 In all four Gospels the Saviour is brought into conflict with the official expounders of the Law on the question of giving medical aid on the Sabbath day. Healing is the work of nature or God, whence legislation cannot deal with it; since work, not speech, was forbidden on the Sabbath, a cure which could be effected by a fiat would not constitute a violation of the Law; nor indeed does the Mosaic legislation any more than any other contemplate the occurrence of the miraculous. In three of the Gospels arguments are produced in defence of the performance of medical operations on the Sabbath. These are all Rabbinical or juristic, i.e. based not on general considerations, but on Scripture, and, since Scripture contains nothing that bears directly on the matter, constructed on approved methods of inference. The Rabbinical use of this argument has been recently elucidated by L. Schwarz in the treatise der hermeneutische Syllogismus in der Talmudischen Litteratur, Karlsruhe, 1901, where much which is ordinarily puzzling is made clear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 22 In a scene recorded in the first two Gospels the Saviour is represented as conversing with a woman from the region of Tyre and Sidon. The narrative occurs in Matthew xv. 21-28 and Mark vii. 24 - 30. In the former the woman is styled a Canaanite, in the latter a Hellenis, Syro-ph nician by race. "Ph nician" is at times in the LXX a rendering of the Hebrew "Canaanite," and the prefix Syro is used to distinguish the Syrian Phoenicians from the African. In the second Gospel "Syro-ph nician by race" represents "from those regions" in the Matthsean text. The word Canaanite occurs nowhere else in the New Testament. Its sense here is probably "pagan." The reason of the substitution of Hellenis will appear presently. In the Greek text of Matthew the Master is with His disciples in the open air. Approaching the Phoenician country they are met by a woman from those parts who requests help for a daughter who is possessed. Christ is silent. The disciples urge that she be "let go," to which Christ replies that He is not sent but to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. The woman renews her importunity and is told that it is not permissible to take the children's bread and cast it to the puppies. She retorts that puppies are in fact allowed to eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table. She is then praised for her faith and her request is granted. There are several features in this narrative which occasion surprise. 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, 1885, Vol. 9 Secularist chiefly prizes it. There can, we think, he no doubt that its most widely diffused results have not been religious. In breaking with the past, it forced the human mind to begin anew its ascent of the path of knowledge, to divest itself of all previous beliefs in every sphere, to distrust even the methods of reasoning by which those beliefs had been attained. In no de partment was the revolution more complete than in the world of Science, and in no revolution were the preconceived opinions of humanity so completely over turned. It is not too much to say that the change from the Ptolemaic to the Copernican system of the heavens proved a more immediate and direct trans formation of human ideas than the transition from the religious creed of the Romanist to the personal faith of the Protestant. It is not denied that the Reforma tion was followed by an age of religious scepticism, and of that scepticism the Reformation has often been made to bear the reproach. Yet, to our mind, nothing is more Clear than is the fact, that the religious anarchy of the post-reformation age had its root, not in a new order of faith, but in a new order of science. That stream of Deistic tendency which arose with the spi ritualism of Lord Herbert of Cherbury, and culmi nated in the sensualism of Mandeville, was in no sense the result of Protestant individualism. It took its rise in a new apprehension of Nature, in a conception of the material universe in which the individual mind almost lost its Protestantism in the overpowering sense of its nothingness. Man had ceased to be the centre of Creation. The fond dream of the Jew and the Mediaevalist had faded in the light of a new heaven and a new earth. That world, which men had believed.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 3 Proves the magnificent courage and sufficiency with which it answered every kind of challenge. In the Epistle to the Hebrews, for example, we see Christianity Vindicating itself in relation to the religion of the Temple. That religion, for Jews, may be said to have held the field; it rested on the authority of God, and it had a prima facie right to demand explanations from the new religion which was treating it as a thing waxing old and ready to vanish away. In the Epistle to the Hebrews the explanations are frankly given. The new is defined in relation to the old, conceived as a way of worshipping God, and its superiority at every point is asserted. The law made nothing perfect it did not bring anything in religion to the ideal goal' but Christ, by His one offering, has perfected for ever the people of God; the true religion is realized and guaranteed in Him as He appears in the presence of God on our behalf. Therefore in Him the shadows of the law are all fulfilled and now withdraw. We see a still more striking instance of this theologizing in response to a summons in the great theological passage of the New Testament, the prologue to St. John. Here Christian experience is challenged, not merely by the old religion, but by the philosophy (which means, by the science and the morality) of the pagan world. And it is not afraid to meet the challenge. It defines itself as frankly, and with as simple a sense of its own triumphant inclusive superiority, in rela tion to the universe and to humanity with all its achieve ments, as it had assumed in relation to the religion of Israel. Platonic and Stoic philosophers spoke of a Logos, a word or reason, which was the divine ideal of the world, the divine law or presence in it, the source of its rationality and of all the light and goodness it displayed. There is nothing in the history of the human mind like the courage with which the Evangelist defines the relation of the Christian faith to this sublime conception. He knows that in Christ he has.
