Christology of the Old Testament, Vol. 1: And a Commentary on the Messianic Predictions (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Christology of the Old Testament, Vol. 1: And a Commentary on the Messianic Predictions

The Author shall take care that the new edition shall not exceed the former one in size. The space intended to be occu pied by the enlarged discussions, and by the new investigations, will be gained by omissions. These, however, will be limited to such matters as now clearly appear to be superfluous; so that the old will not retain any value when compared with the new edition. The Author, had he pursued his usual method of representation, would have curtailed many points, particularly the history of the interpretation. But the mode of treating the subject which he had previously adopted, is not without its advantages, and has a certain right to be retained. The former character of the work, in so far as the avoidance of everything properly ascetic is concerned, has been, in the present edition, also retained.

Scientific Theolog is at present threatened by serious dan gers in our Church. Works of an immediately practical interest more and more exclusively occupy the noblest minds, since the problems which present themselves in this field are indeed nu fathomable. But the Lord of the Church will take care that an excellent gift, which He has bestowed upon German Christ endom especially, shall not, for any length of time, continue to be neglected. If such were to be the case, a more general decay would be gradually. Brought on; and even those interests would be injured to which at present, with a zeal, noble indeed, but little thoughtful, solid theological learning is sacrificed.
