Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Study of the New Testament, 1883 and 1920: An Inaugural Lecture Delivered Before the University of Oxford, on October 22 and 29, 1920
In studying his Inaugural Lecture in preparation for my own there is one obvious contrast that is only too vividly borne in on me. He speaks throughout with high hope, and with unabated confidence of fulfil ment, about all the methods of teaching and lines of research to which he intends to give himself: he had published two books, but he dwells much less on what he had done than on what he meant to do. At the time When he delivered the lecture he was still some months under forty I, conscious of sixty years behind me, have to justify myself more by the past than by the future, and must be chary of promises to-day. Autumn, what ever its merits, is not the same as early summer.
