Book Description

Excerpt from Greek Testament Lessons for Colleges, Schools, and Private Students: Consisting Chiefly of the Sermon on the Mount, and the Parables of Our Lord With Notes and Essays This book has little or no claim to originality, excepting in design and method. The chief objects aimed at have been, to present to intelligent boys, of fourteen and upwards, such a view of Christian Ethics as may make a lasting impression upon them, and to connect the study of the Greek Testament with the other studies of a public-school boy, and the trivial round of his everyday life. An attempt has also been made, so far as was possible in such narrow limits, to place this teaching in its proper historical and geographical setting, to show its relation to that of the writers of the Old Testament, and to illustrate it from the sayings of teachers of morality of ancient and modern times. It is hoped that the book may prove useful to others besides boys, - to theological students, and perhaps to some teachers and ministers of religion who may not have had leisure or opportunity for the study of the authorities from which are derived the thoughts contained in this volume.
