关于此电子书

Henry Alford’s New Testament edition, complete with in-depth introductions to each book and an extensive verse-by-verse commentary, is a work of lasting appeal. Alford takes great pains to build a solid foundation for readers approaching the works of the Gospels and Epistles. Written in an effort to expose nineteenth-century English-language readers to critical thought and commentary from leading scholars writing in other languages, Alford’s New Testament weaves German textual criticism and insights into the biblical text. His introductions discuss such topics as origin, authorship, inspiration, and purpose and objective, opening the door to an exegetical approach to Scripture. Alford’s commentary marks a shift from primarily theological and homiletic concerns to those of philology, historical studies, and textual criticism.

In the Logos edition The New Testament for English Readers is fully searchable. Scripture references are linked and appear on mouse-over, allowing you to engage with your favorite translation and other digital resources as you delve into Bible study.

作者简介

Henry Alford (7 October 1810 – 12 January 1871) was an English churchman, theologian, textual critic, scholar, poet, hymnodist, and writer.

His chief fame, however, rests on his monumental edition of the New Testament in Greek (8 vols.), on which he worked from 1841 to 1861. In this work he first brought before English students a careful collation of the readings of the chief manuscripts and the researches of the ripest continental scholarship of his day. Philological rather than theological in character, it marked an epochal change from the old homiletic commentary, and though more recent research, patristic and papyral, has largely changed the method of New Testament exegesis, Alford's work is still a quarry where the student can dig with a good deal of profit.
