Excerpt from The Individuality of Saint Paul In many of the translations I am deeply indebted to Dr. Moffatt's The New Testament, A New Trans lation. Where his rendering has been used verbatim, the fact has been duly pointed out. Among modern commentaries, there stands out conspicuously Dr. Denney's on Romans in The Expositor's Greek Testament. How conspicuously it does so in my own case the book itself will show, even where no open acknowledgment is made. As I claim no originality, it is super uous to mention indebtedness in other directions. In the matter of references, I have tried to keep in View, so far as possible, the reader and student of the English Bible, who seeks fearlessly to keep in touch with the modern and constructive side of the historical method. Obscurantism, and indifference to the accredited results of modern scholarship are the besetting sin of much - it may be otherwise effective - popular exegesis and evangelical appeal. To paraphrase Cromwell's words about the State, God, in seeking men to serve Him, takes no notice of their opinions; if they be willing faithfully to serve Him, that satisfies. It is, however, His will that we'serve Him with heart, soul, strength, and mind. There may be an intellectual cross also, which we are asked to carry if not our own, then that which rests on our neighbour's shoulders. The good news for the new day is the ancient novelty of a living Christ, who is competent, as ever, to be His own Interpreter and Commentator, through the Spirit that leads into all the truth.
