Synopsis

Excerpt from An Introduction to the New Testament, Vol. 1

This holds true to a certain extent, though only partially, of modern works, because we ourselves, as contemporaries, are surrounded by the same relations, and must in some degree be acquainted with the circumstances and events of our day. Facts which we are ignorant of, and which it is desirable we should know, are generally stated by the author himself in his preface, and any further introduction is usually unneces sary. But the need for such an introduction arises soon after, indeed sometimes immediately after, the appearance of a work, especially if the events and circumstances of the time are closely connected with the subject treated of, or if the author has seen fit to conceal his own position and rela tionships. Much more is such an introduction requisite in the case of works written in places, circumstances, or times unknown to us or distant from us, as e.g. In the case of the Greek and Latin classics. Here it is usual to prefix a longer or shorter introduction before the more direct exposition of the text. And, in like manner, it is customary to prefix to the several books of Holy Scripture brief essays or state ments concerning their origin, their authorship, their design and contents, their genuineness and integrity, the works used in the exposition, etc.
