Hermann Olshausen's Commentary on the New Testament was incomparably the best work of its kind. No other interpreter illustrates so fully the range of significance pertaining to single words, the distinctions between reputed synonyms, and the use and force of particles. To him the Greek of the New Testament seems like his native tongue, and he penetrates with surpassing skill into the different modes of self-consciousness indicated in different writers by their peculiarities of diction, or in the same writer at different times by his varying phraseology. His Commentary on the first three Gospels is based on their harmony, and presents their narratives blended where they coincide, and alternating in the order of events where their accounts differ.

Commenting on the Epistles, Olshausen abjures the aphoristic style of interpretation, something which some of the most distinguished expositors of today have not succeeded in working themselves totally free of. Olshausen's exegesis of every single text is derived from its context, and from the main purpose of the Epistle considered as an actual missive with a definite intent. From his conclusions we often dissent, and it seems to us that he occasionally detects in St. Paul philosophic subtleties which could have had origins nowhere else but in modern Germany; yet, where we cannot accept his exegesis, we never fail to derive important aid from him in determining our own (pp. 279-280). Olshausen held tenaciously to the genuineness of the four canonical gospels in an age when it was being seriously threatened by attacks from modernistic scholars. His Proof of the Genuineness of the Writings of the New Testament, which is prefixed to the commentary, is considered a classic in the field.

About the author:

The great German theologian Hermann Olshausen (August 21, 1796 - September 4, 1839) was born at Oldeslohe in Holstein, Germany.

He was educated at the universities of Kiel (1814) and Berlin (1816), where he was influenced by Friedrich Daniel Ernst Schleiermacher and Joachim Neander. In 1820 he became Privatdozent and in 1821 professor extraordinarius at Berlin; in 1827 professor at Königsberg, in 1834 at Erlangen.

Olshausen's theological specialty was New Testament exegesis; his New Testament Commentary (completed and revised by Ebrard and Wiesinger) began to appear at Königsberg in 1830, and was translated into English in 6 vols (Edinburgh, 1847-1849).

Previous to it were his other works, Die Achtheit d. vier Kanon. Evangelien (1823), Ein Wort über tieferen Schriftsinn (1824) and Die biblische Schriftauslegung (1825).

Not sure what an "Ebook" is?

The term 'Ebook' simply means "electronic book", meant for viewing on your computer. Ebooks usually come in Adobe PDF format, as the one being offered in this auction does. All that is required to read the Ebook is a software program called Adobe Acrobat Reader, which will open PDF files. Most computers already have the Adobe Acrobat reader software already installed, but in the rare instance your computer may not have it, you can download the latest version for FREE at www.adobe.com.

With an Ebook, you can read books on your computer screen and zoom in on the text to make the words as big as you would like them to be to read comfortably! You can also go to any page or chapter in the book with just a few mouse clicks, even if the book has thousands of pages! You can also print out any or all pages you like at your convenience. With some Ebooks, you even have the capability to copy and paste the text of the book into another computer file, instead of retyping by hand. These are just a few of the features and conveniences of having a book in electronic format.

Having this book on a CD is a dream come true. A wonderful feature of this CD is the ability to "copy and paste" any of the text from its over 10,000 pages into any other computer application/program. Try doing that with a printed book! Everything on this disk is fully searchable. And with so many pages and chapters to study, having built-in Bookmarks is definitely a time saver!

Do you like audio books? Another time-saving feature not talked about very often is the "Read Aloud" function of Adobe Acrobat Reader. This feature will allow your computer to read the text of the book to you, whether it be one page or the entire book! (Don't be fooled by others on ebay who try to pass off their ebooks as the only ones with this feature, as it will work with nearly any PDF in Adobe Acrobat)

Don't pass up this opportunity to obtain a copy of this awesome Bible reference CD! Original hardcopy editions of these works have sold on Ebay for hundreds of dollars. With this CD you can read the same pages on your computer, or print out any pages you like at your convenience. All files are in PDF format and are bookmarked for easy navigation.

Don't forget, shipping is FREE! We can't STAND it when people charge 2 or 3 dollars or more for shipping, when it only costs 64 CENTS! Don't you stand for it either! Those other guys are just ripping you off...and laughing all the way to PayPal!
