Synopsis
Excerpt from History of New Testament Criticism
The least unkind of my critics will probably find two faults with this work firstly, that it is sketchy, and, secondly, that it says too little of the history of textual criticism and of the manuscripts and versions in which the New Testament has come down to us.
I must plead in excuse that I could do no more in so short a book, and that it is in any case not intended for specialists, but for the wider public. Within its limits there is no room to enumerate one half of the important commentaries and works of learning about the New Testament which have been produced in the last two hundred years. The briefest catalogue of these would have filled a volume four times as large. I had, therefore, to choose between a bare enumeration of names and titles, and a sketch of a move ment of thought conducted by a few prominent scholars and critics. I chose the latter. Writing for English readers, I have also endeavoured to bring into prominence the work of English writers; and, in general, I have singled out for notice courageous writers who, besides being learned, were ready to face obloquy and unpopularity; for, unhappily, in the domain of Biblical criticism it is difficult to please the majority of readers without being apologetic in tone and goody-goody. A worker in this field who finds himself praised by such journals as the Saturday Review or the Church Times may instantly suspect himself of being either superstitious or a time-server.
