Excerpt from Thessalonians and Corinthians: With Introduction and Notes

Similarly marshalled. Moreover, the Pauline epistles have their appendix. The Epistle to the Hebrews stands next them, because of a growing inclination to ascribe it to St. Paul; it does not stand where, by its length, it would rank as a Pauline epistle, because the recollection or perception that it was not Paul's had not quite disappeared when the Canon was consolidated. Next we have a group Of non-pauline epistles, conveniently, if with question able accuracy, known as Catholic Or General - in contrast to epistles addressed to single churches. And lastly, there is their appendix, or the appendix of the whole collection - the Apocalypse of J ohn.l Where are we to look for the earliest writings? Not in the Gospels, as we have them; although most of their material must have come down, in tenacious Eastern memories, from the earliest times of all. Not in the canonical Apocalypse; it dates itself in the latter half - and probably very near the end - of the first century. It remains that we turn to the epistles. There are three candidates for priority among these - 1 Thessalonians, Galatians, James. As Dr. Adeney remarks, it is unlikely that the author of James should have invented this new literary type, the Christian epistle; nor is it likely (we may add) that a Christian epistle with so very wide an address should have come first of all.2 What, then, of Galatians? It may be older than Thessalonians, especially if it really was.

Excerpt from Thessalonians and Corinthians: With Introduction and Notes

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.
