Description:VINCENT TAYLOR, PhD., D.D. LOND. Principal professor of NT language and literature at Weslky College, Leeds. Macmillan & Company Lts, St. Martin's St., London 1937. To E.T. and M.M.T. PREFACE: After devoting something like 25 years to the study of the problems of literary & historical criticism in connexion with the Gospels, & especially to the minutiae of source criticism, I am conscious of a strong desire to investigate some more vital issue, arising out of these studies, which bears intimately upon Christian life & practice. For this reason during the last 4 years, in the intervals of a busy life spent in teaching & administration, I have endeavoured to make a careful in vestigation of the Passion-sayings, with a view to discovering how Jesus interpreted his suffering & death. The results of this inquiry are published in the present volume. Portions of the work were included in a course of Lectures given at University College, Bangor, in 5/1936, & I gladly take this opportunity of expressing my deep gratitude to Principal D. Emrys Evans & the members of the University Staff for the wonderful kindness I received during my visit to Wales. I also recall with the greatest pleasure the keen interest which is taken by Welsh ministers & students in theological studies. The plan of the work is simple. In Part I, I have examined the outstanding OT ideas which form a necessary background to the sayings of Jesus, & in the light of which alone they can be understood. Part II contains the critical investigation of the sayings themselves, in Mark, Luke, ICor. 11.23-5 & the 4th Gospel. Here I have thought it well to give special attention to questions of genuineness, as well as of interpretation, in consequence of the most recent phase of Gospel research represented by Form-Criticism in Germany, Great Britain & the United States of America. Part III is constructive. It is devoted to an attempt to state the results to which the investigation leads. I am well aware that, in this section, my work reaches its most vulnerable point. Differences of opinion on these matters are inevitable, & I cannot expect that the views I have outlined will commend themselves to every reader. There is a not unnatural inclination on the part of many Gospel critics to avoid discussing ultimate questions. The critic comforts himself with the opinion that these are not his province they are the responsibility of the theologian, whereas his own duty is to observe the wisdom of the proverb which warns us that the shoemaker must stick to his last. There can be no doubt at all that the observance of this principle has made possible a vast amount of learned research to which all students are indebted. It was, however, always a dangerous principle, since, in the limited province within which the expert must work, it is easy to see results out of focus. Many examples of this peril could easily be given, especially the attempts of the Liberal School to understand and explain the beginnings of Christianity. But, however hazardous it may have been, this method is doubly dangerous today, when the fortunes of the Christian religion in the world approach a kind of Armageddon in which its immense claims must finally be tried in the fires of conflict. The critic of today must live in two worlds, the academic region of his particular interests & the larger world of contemporary religion. At least once in his life he should be compelled to come out into the open & declare the bearing of his tentative results upon the larger problems of Christian belief & worship. Only in this way can he discover whether his work is worth while, or whether it is nothing more than academic trifling.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
