Synopsis
Excerpt from The Holy Bible, in the Authorized Version, Vol. 4: With Notes and Introductions; The Book of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon
But, on the other hand, while we are duly thankful for the aids which have accrued in modern times for the interpretation of the letter of this Sacred Book, we cannot but deplore that recent Criticism, which, with a few happy exceptions, has declined from the standard of earlier times in the appreciation of its spirit 6. The Book of Job is full of Divine mysteries, and it was regarded in this view by the Ancient Church. It cannot be rightly understood, unless it be read by the-light of the Gospel. Happily, we possess a rich storehouse of early Christian Exposition, representing with remarkable unanimity the sense of Ancient Christendom, both in the East and the West 7.
It has been the endeavour of the Editor of the present volume, to blend the venerable tradi tions of Ancient Theology with the critical results of Modern Philology and he now humbly com mends his labours on this wonderful Book to the grace of Almighty God, with an earnest prayer for His blessing upon them.
