Excerpt from The Acts of the Apostles: In Greek and English, With Notes Hence the editor who desires to keep in close touch with his author must concern himself more with personal history than with dogmatic theology or ecclesiastical systems, must fix his eyes steadily on the living representatives of Christ, study the language and motives of the several speakers and actors on the scene, and compare them with the history of the period. I have taken pains to verify and digest the large store of information for which I am indebted to many predecessors. I have also made an independent and thorough scrutiny for myself of the author's language, and endeavoured to illustrate it by the aid of other scriptures and any ancient authorities within my reach.
