In this volume the sole aim of the writer has been to trace the unity ofthought in one of the greatest and most difficult books of the NewTestament. He has endeavoured to picture his reader as a member of whatis known in the Sunday-schools of Wales as “the teachers’ class,” athoughtful Christian layman, who has no Greek, and desires only to beassisted in his efforts to come at the real bearing and force of wordsand to understand the connection of the sacred author’s ideas. It maynot be unnecessary to add that this design by no means implies lesslabour or thought on the part of the writer. But it does imply that thelabour is veiled. Criticism is rigidly excluded.
The writer has purposely refrained from discussing the question of the[vi]authorship of the Epistle, simply because he has no new light to throwon this standing enigma of the Church. He is convinced that St. Paul isneither the actual author nor the originator of the treatise.
In case theological students may wish to consult the volume when theystudy the Epistle to the Hebrews, they will find the Greek given at thefoot of the page, to serve as a catch-word, whenever any point ofcriticism or of interpretation seems to the writer to deserve theirattention.
