Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Critical and Grammatical Commentary on St. Paul's Epistles: To the Philippians, Colossians, and to Philemon
With these three earthly aids, first, an accurate knowledge of Hellenic Greek; secondly, the Greek commentators, and thirdly, the five or six principal ancient Versions, we may (with humble prayer for the illuminating grace of the Eternal Spirit) address ourselves to the task of a critical exposition of the Covenant of Mercy; we may trust that, though often with clouded and holden eyes, we may yet be per mitted to see and to recognise some sure and certain outlines of Divine Truth: but without any of these, or with one, or even two, to the exclusion of what remain, dare we hope that our interpretations will always be found free from uncertainties and incon sistencies, and will never exhibit the tinges of indi vidual opinion, and the often estimable, but ever precarious subjectivity of religious predilections?
