Critical and Exegetical

Wilhelm Meyer Heinrich August

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The design of the publishers of the present edition of Meyer's work is to place it within the reach Of the largest possible numberof theo logical students and ministers, in order that the influence of its profound scholarship, its true methods, its honest truth-seeking purpose, its relig ious spirit and its manly confidence in Christianity may be most widely extended. The. Commentary is printed in full and precise accordance with the English Translation - except that, in many instances, references to authorities and to Greek writers are transferred from the page to foot notes - and by an arrangement with the English publishers. The translation of this volume was made, as indicated on the title-page, by the Rev. John C. Moore and the Rev. Edwin Johnson; the work of the former covering the first eight chapters, and that of the latter the remainder of the Epistle. The translation, it is believed, has com mended itself to those who have used it since its first publication. The Rev. Dr. William P. Dickson, of the University of Glasgow, was the superintending editor of the work when this portion of it was pre pared, and the entire translation, so long as his editorship continued, was reviewed and revised by him. As the Commentary on the Romans was the first of the series which was published, Dr. Dickson introduced it by a General Preface. This preface it has been thought proper to omit in this edition, inasmuch as the principal facts connected with Meyer's life, which it contained, have been already stated in the volume on the Acts, edited by Dr. Ormiston, andbecause the Commentary is now so much better known than when it was first issued in Edinburgh, that such introductory words seem to be scarcely necessary. The Topical Index at the end Of the volume has been prepared by the Rev. G. F. Behringer, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who has kindly exercised a general supervision of the work, while'passing through the press.
