Studies In The Teaching Of Jesus His Apostles PDF Download

Excerpt from Studies in the Teaching of Jesus His Apostles These are simple studies on important topics, and not a comprehensive presentation of the teaching of Jesus and His apostles. In these studies the teaching of Jesus as presented in the Synoptic Gospels and in John's Gospel will generally be separately considered in order justly to bring out the striking peculiarities of each presentation. The critical study of the sources of the Synoptic Gospels has not yet resulted in any theory which, in its application to details, has gained such general acceptance as to warrant its adoption in a work of this character. The teaching of the Synoptic Gospels will, therefore, be considered as a whole. In the study of the teaching of the apostles such discrimination will be made between the different types of apostolic teaching as will serve to bring out the peculiarities of each, so providentially preserved in the New Testament, in so far as such peculiarities may become evident in the consideration of the particular themes selected for study. The general purpose, determining the whole plan of presentation, is to direct the student in his study of the text, and to furnish him such suggestions as will facilitate rather than prevent the true scholar's joy of independent discovery. The attainments and previous experience in Bible study of those who will use this book are so diverse that more of direct suggestion must be given than may seem to be demanded by the most advanced students, and more than will be demanded by the majority of students when systematic Bible study shall have become common in fitting schools and colleges.
