Excerpt from The Bible of to-Day: A Course of Lectures
Gladly do I confess the powerful influence of Kuenen on my Old Testament studies. But I have not followed him blindly. I have diligently com pared him with others, Ewald especially, only to be more thoroughly convinced of his superior penetra tion. My studies of the New Testament have been less dominated by any one authority. Recognizing the incomparable genius of Baur, I have hesitated to go with him in his refusal to grant Paul more than four Epistles. Perhaps Zeller's treatment of the Acts found me a readier convert, because of its striking vindication of the Apostle of my boundless reverence and love. And I trust that my opinions upon many points in both Testaments have been profoundly influenced by the immense sobriety of Dr. Samuel Davidson, whose elaborate introduc tions are a double monument of his colossal in. Dustry and his heroic independence.
