ALFRED E. GARVIE. M.A.(OXON.), D.D.(GLAS.) THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES WITH INTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY REV. H. T. ANDREWS, B.A. PROFESSOR OF NEW TESTAMENT EXEGESIS AND CRITICISM, Bible, N.I. Acts. English SECOND IMPRESSION LONDON: ANDREW MELROSE 1909 PREFACE BY THE GENERAL EDITOR HAVING carefully selected the editors of the ten volumes of which the Westminster New Testament will consist, and having fully explained to them the purpose of the series, the General Editor is leaving them the greatest possible liberty; and the editor of each volume is alone responsible for the opinions expressed in it. It is hoped that thus any lack of uniformity will be amply compensated for by the varied interest which the free expression of his own individuality by each editor will impart to the series. While the standpoint adopted is that of modern critical scholarship, only the generally accepted results, and not the vagaries of individual critics are being presented, and in such a fashion as to avoid unnecessarily giving any offence or causing any difficulty to the reverent Bible student. As the series is intended especially for teachers, lay preachers, and others engaged in Christian work, their needs are being kept particularly in view, and the Commentary aims at being as practically useful as possible. A new arrangement in printing the text and the notes has been adopted, which it is believed will be found an improvement. NEW COLLEGE, London, A. E. GARVIE. August 15th, 1907. vii |
