Excerpt from Primitive Christian Eschatology: The Hulsean Prize Essay for 1908In revising the Old Testament section, I have received no little help from my friend Mr. R. S. Cripps, formerly of St. John's College, Cambridge. To another old friend of Cambridge days, Mr. C. W. Previte-orton, Fellow of St. John's College, I owe a very special debt of gratitude. During the past four years his wide knowledge and critical ability have been constantly brought to my assistance, both during the time when this essay was first being written at Cambridge, and also during the subsequent period of revision. I am also grateful to my father, for much helpful advice, and especially for reading the proofs. And lastly, I wish to express my appreciation of the valuable suggestions and the invariable courtesy which I have received from the authorities of the University Press.The contents of the present volume are somewhat wider in their scope than might be inferred from the title, but I have thought it best not to alter the title, which was assigned as the subject for the Hulsean Essay in 1908, nor yet to delete or abridge the earlier sections in order to produce a closer agreement between the title and the contents.That there are many faults in the following pages I do not for a moment doubt, I would only venture to hope that there may also be some thoughts which will contribute towards a clearer understanding of the truth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
