Beschrijving

An American Commentary on The New Testament – edited by Alvah Hovey : Complete Set of 7 volumes

The editor denotes the purpose of this set of New Testament Commentaries: “the object of the writers being distinctly this, to render the Commentary useful to all who desire a knowledge of God’s word;” including an insistence on “…the practical bearings of divine truth.”

From the General Introduction: With these remarks this Introduction might be closed. But it may not be improper to add a few words of explanation.
(1) Special introductions to the several books of the New Testament will be given by the writers upon those book—the present Introduction being of a general nature, applicable to the New Testament as a collection of sacred writings, but not aiming to give all the evidence for the authorship andl authority of particular books.
(2) The undersigned is only responsible for the selection of the writers who prepare this Commentary, and for the general character of the Commentary itself, but not for the details of interpretation in particular pages. Yet he has in a few instances inserted brief notes over his own initials (A. H.).
(3) As may be inferred from our General Introduction, due regard is paid by the writers of this Commentary to the results of modern biblical scholarship as to the authenticity, the original text, and the true meaning of the New Testament Scriptures.
(4) Yet the results of careful and critical study are presented in the clearest terms possible. Greek words are very rarely introduced: indeed, never, unless they are deemed necessary to justify the interpretation given: and, when introduced, they are carefully translated— the object of the writers being distinctly this, to render the Commentary useful to all who desire a knowledge of God’s word. Hence the practical bearings of divine truth are often insisted upon in the Commentary.
