The Sermon On The Mount Its Literary Structure And Didactic Purpose PDF Download

Excerpt from The Sermon on the Mount: Its Literary Structure, and Didactic Purpose Teachers of biblical science are increasingly conscious of the need of a text-book of the higher criticism. This method is no longer an experiment. The New Testament, the Gospels above all, can be interpreted, as they have been in the past, without it; but the modern teacher who is ignorant on this score is justly considered incompetent. Baleful or beneficent, it must be understood. Moreover, the discourses of Jesus furnish a problem that nothing else has solved and to which these methods must inevitably be applied. No scholar has ever attempted the construction of a gospel harmony with out again and again being compelled to resort to expedients which do not represent the real meaning of his authorities.
