Excerpt from Introduction to the Pauline Epistles His work is intended as an Introduction to the Epistles of St. Paul. It does not profess to treat of these Epistles exegetically, or to deal with them in detail, but only to discuss those points which properly form the topics of an Introduction, as their authenticity, design, date, the circum stances under which each was written, the adequate compre hension of which is a necessary preliminary to the intelligent study of the Epistles themselves. It has been found con venient to discuss certain Special difficulties of importance and points of peculiar interest in separate dissertations, appended to the Epistle out of which they arise. The only work in the English language of a somewhat similar character with which the author is acquainted, is the earlier Intro duction to the New Testament by Dr. Davidson, - a work of great excellence and erudition, to which he has been under considerable obligations, but which has been in some degree superseded by the later Introduction of the same learned author, in which the Opinions expressed in the earlier edition have been materially modified. The author has had specially in View to combat the opinions expressed in the Apostel Paulus (a translation of which is now in the course of being pub lished) of Dr. F. C. Baur of Tubingen, a theologian who has exercised greater in¿uence on modern theological thought than any recent writer, not excepting Strauss or Renan. In composing the present work, the author has derived great assistance from the Introductions to the Commentariesviii preface.
