Excerpt from A New Commentary on the Gospel According to Matthew
This volume is meant to give the student of the Gospel accord ing to Matthew an amount of illustration which he has hitherto been unable to gather except from many sources, and is meant at the same time, by the strictest avoidance of all expression or implication of any theological Opinion, to make it deserving of acceptance to students of the most diverse views.
It will probably be thought by most that, while the latter aim is immeasurably the harder to achieve, such achievement, if attained, must be self-evident. And indeed I have no fear that any reader can suspect me either of covertly favouring or covertly opposing the doctrines of any church or sect. Churches and sects, however, are only fragments of two great religious parties - a Right which believes the accuracy of the New Testa ment narratives on all important points to be certain, and a Left which considers their accuracy on 'some important points to be uncertain - a large body of each party of course holding views much less qualified than these. And there are certain features in this commentary which, unless explained, might be interpreted by one party or the other as a violation of the writer's profession of neutrality.
