Excerpt from A Commentary on St. Paul's Epistle to the Philippians The passage of the Gospel from Eastern to Western civiliza tion is an event of the highest importance and interest in the history of the Christian Church. With the exception of the extension of the offer of salvation from Jews to Gentiles, there is hardly anything of greater importance in the progress of Apostolic Christianity. It was an advance from a world in which the best elements of civilization were to be found in Judaism, to a World in which the best elements were centred in the art and literature of Greece, and in the military and political organization of Rome. Divine religion was seeking friendship with human philo sophy and human law. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Commentary on St. Paul's Epistle: To the Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and to Philemon N the present volume I have expounded the third group of St. Paul's Epistles, those written during his first imprison ment at Rome. It is well that the four Epistles are expounded in one volume. For they are most closely related in thought and expression, and unitedly present a very definite phase of St. Paul's thought; a marked development of the thought embodied in the great group already annotated. This rich development can be appreciated only by consecutive study of the whole group. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Critical and Grammatical Commentary on St. Paul's Epistles to the Philippians, Colossians, and to Philemon: With a Revised Translation This fervent, affectionate, and, in parts, pathetic Epistle was written by the apostle to his liberal and warmhearted converts in the Roman colony of Philippi. Towards the close of his first captivity at Rome (see Introd. To 1 and at a time when, it would seem, his imprisonment was of a closer and harsher character, and his earthly prospects, though not by any means without hope (ch. I. 25, 26; ii. Yet, in many respects, cheerless and depressing (eh. I. 20 sq., ii. 17, It has thus been supposed, with some probability, to have been written after the death of the Praetorian Prefect (burrus) to whom the apostle had been at first entrusted (acts xxviii. And by whom, as we may infer from Acts 1. C., be had been treated with leniency and con sideration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Critical and Grammatical Commentary St. Paul's Epistles to the Philippians, Colossians, and to Philemon: With a Revised Translation The present volume forms the fourth portion of my Commentary on St. Paul's Epistles, and contains an exposition of the important Epistles to the Philippians and Colossians, and of the graceful and touching Epistle to Philemon. The notes will be found to reflect the same critical and grammatical characteristics, and to recognize the same principles of interpretation as those which I endeavored to follow in the earlier portions of this work, and on which the experiences slowly and laboriously acquired during this undertaking have taught me year by year more confidently to rely. There is, however, a slight amount of additional matter which it is perhaps desirable briefly to specify. In the first place, I have been enabled to carry out more fully and completely a system of reference to the great versions of antiquity, and have spared no pains to approach a little more nearly to those fresh and clear, yet somewhat remote, well-heads of Christian interpretation. In the notes on the Pastoral Epistles it was my endeavor to place before the reader, in all more important passages, the interpretations adopted by the Syriac, Old Latin, and Gothic Versions. To these in the present volume I have added references to the Coptic (Memphitic) and Ethiopic Versions; to the former as found in the convenient and accessible edition of Botticher, to the latter as found in Walton's Polyglott, but more especially and exclusively to the excellent edition of the Ethiopic New Testament by the late Mr. Pell Piatt (1830), published by the Bible Society.
