The Expositor's Bible: The Epistle to the Hebrews: Preface

By Thomas Charles Edwards


      THE EXPOSITOR'S BIBLE

      THE
      EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS

      BY
      THOMAS CHARLES EDWARDS, D.D.

      PRINCIPAL OF THE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF WALES, ABERYSTWYTH

      NINTH EDITION

      PREFACE.

      In this volume the sole aim of the writer has been to trace the unity of thought in one of the greatest and most difficult books of the New Testament. He has endeavoured to picture his reader as a member of what is known in the Sunday-schools of Wales as "the teachers' class," a thoughtful Christian layman, who has no Greek, and desires only to be assisted in his efforts to come at the real bearing and force of words and to understand the connection of the sacred author's ideas. It may not be unnecessary to add that this design by no means implies less labour or thought on the part of the writer. But it does imply that the labour is veiled. Criticism is rigidly excluded.

      The writer has purposely refrained from discussing the question of the authorship of the Epistle, simply because he has no new light to throw on this standing enigma of the Church. He is convinced that St. Paul is neither the actual author nor the originator of the treatise.

      In case theological students may wish to consult the volume when they study the Epistle to the Hebrews, they will find the Greek given at the foot of the page, to serve as a catch-word, whenever any point of criticism or of interpretation seems to the writer to deserve their attention.

      T. C. E.

      ABERYSTWYTH, April 12th, 1888.
