Excerpt from Bible Studies: Contributions Chiefly From Papyri and Inscriptions to the History of the Language, the Literature, and the Religion of Hellenistic Judaism and Primitive ChristianityHaving been honoured by a request to sanction an English translation Of my Bibelstudien and New Bibelstudien, I have felt it my duty to accede to the proposal. It seems to me that investigations based upon Papyri and Inscriptions are specially calculated to be received with interest by English readers.For one thing, the richest treasures from the domain Of Papyri and Inscriptions are deposited in English museums and libraries, for another, English investigators take premier rank among the discoverers and editors Of Inscriptions, but particularly Of Papyri while, again, it was English scholarship which took the lead in utilising the Inscriptions in the sphere Of biblical research. Further, in regard to the Greek Old Testament in particular, for the investigation Of which the Inscriptions and Papyri yield valuable material (of which only the most inconsiderable part has been utilised in the following pages), English theologians have Of late done exceedingly valuable and memorable work. In confirmation Of all this I need only recall the names Of F. Field, B. P. Grenfell, E. Hatch, E. L. Hicks, A. S. Hunt, F. G. Kenyon, J. P. Maha¿'y, W. R. Paton, W. M. Ramsay, H. A. Redpath, H. B. Swete, and others hardly less notable.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
