Description:This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... THE GREAT MEANING OF THE WORD METANOIA: LOST IN THE OLD VERSION, UNRECOVERED IN THE NEW. THE NEW TESTAMENT IDEA OF METANOIA. METANOIA is the Greek word--and letter for letter an English one, if we desire it --which bears the sublime burden of the original proclamation of the gospel. It represents the first utterance of John the Baptist as the herald of the Christ, and the first utterance of Jesus the Christ as the herald of the kingdom of God. It was their summons to mankind, preceding the announcement of the power that was approaching, of the revelation that was at hand. If we recur to the image involved in the words "herald," "proclamation"--the image implied in the narrative--it was the note of a trumpet outside the walls, and the call of a messenger to open the gates. In order the better to get at its meaning, let us now imagine some one who has never read the English New Testament, and who has had no especial bias given to his ideas by any theological system. All we will suppose for him is a knowledge of Greek and a spiritual instinct which will enable him to rise into the frequent transcendental meaning of the Greek of the New Testament. He knows enough to know that he is dealing with the record of a divine revolution in the affairs of men, and that the human language to which the account was committed is struggling to utter adequately the depth of inspiration behind it. He knows that the record was committed to writing only after the bearings of the history were fully understood and the conception of its meaning was fully matured. He knows that what is before him is a condensation as to events, and a translation as to ideas; in other words, if we confine the remark to the four gospels, that the historical part is as brief as it is...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
