A Problem In New Testament Criticism: The Stone Lectures For 1897-1898 (1900)

""A Problem in New Testament Criticism: The Stone Lectures for 1897-1898"" is a book written by Melancthon Williams Jacobus and published in 1900. This book is a collection of lectures that were delivered by the author at the Princeton Theological Seminary during the academic year 1897-1898. The lectures explore a central problem in New Testament criticism, which is the question of the origin and authenticity of the Gospels. Jacobus examines the evidence for the traditional view that the Gospels were written by the apostles or their close associates, as well as the alternative hypothesis that they were written by anonymous authors at a later date. He also discusses the various methods of textual criticism that have been used to study the Gospels and evaluates their strengths and weaknesses. Throughout the book, Jacobus provides a thorough and scholarly analysis of the historical and literary context of the Gospels, and presents a nuanced and detailed argument for his own position. This book is an important contribution to the field of New Testament studies and remains relevant to scholars and students today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
