Biblical Commentary on the Gospels, Vol. 1: Adapted Especially for for Preachers and Students; Translated From the German, With Additional Notes (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Biblical Commentary on the Gospels, Vol. 1: Adapted Especially for for Preachers and Students; Translated From the German, With Additional Notes
With regard to myself as the translator of this work, I have to make a remark or two concerning the plan I have adopted. In imitation of my learned and amiable friend, the Rev. Dr S. Davidson just mentioned, whom I am justified to pronounce one of the best German scholars in the land, I have endeavoured to adhere rigidly to the original text. I have had to struggle, no doubt, with almost insurmountable difficulties in rendering it in telligible to the English reader. For, besides the elaborate and abstruse character of the work itself, the language is so expres sive, and yet so concise, its genius so utterly at variance with that of the English tongue, and finally, the phrases are in many instances so 'complicated, that it would have deterred any one but a native of Germany from entering upon the task of ren dering it into another language. Besides, I have endeavoured to give a correct, though very frequently a literal translation of the Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and other words and passages therein contained, and as the original is not free from errata, so I have also compared almost every author, chapter and verse therein referred to, whereby errors of no slight character have thus been obviated. And in order that the reader might not be at a loss to understand many obscure passages occurring in the texts, Ihave added Notes from time to time, which are the result partly of my own experience and observations, and partly of an extensive and careful reading. Thus great exertion has been made to render the whole acceptable to the reader, who will be able to judge best how far I have succeeded in my hard and la borious enterprise.
