Excerpt from The Second Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians: Introduction, Text, English Translation and NotesThere are various ways in which a Commentary on a Pauline Epistle may be written. In the present one the author offers his own translation as evidence that he has faithfully studied the text of the Epistle, its words and its grammar, but he has felt himself attracted mainly to the Apostle's history, and to the thoughts he here wrote down, and offers this book, the fruit of years of study with a class, as a piece of work on the earliest history of the Church, and on the thought of the Apostle of the Gentiles. He has arranged it as he did his Commentary on Mark The Earliest Gospel, 1901), in such a way that the English reader need not turn away from it, while the student of Greek will also find his interests served. It may be added that the integrity of the Epistle so seriously impugned by most recent English writers on the subject is here defended, for reasons given in the Introduction.He has been much assisted in preparing this book for the press by his friend the Rev. William Edie, Inveresk, who has also furnished the indices.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
