Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Epistle to the Philippians A few words of introduction are necessary to explain the general purpose of this series of Commentaries. The work was commenced under the general supervision of the Bishop of Rangoon and myself, acting as a Committee appointed in accordance with a Resolution of'the Synod of Indian Bishops which met in 1900. Subsequently, with the sanction of the Metropolitan, the Rev. C. F. Andrews, of the Cambridge Brotherhood, Delhi, was appointed General Editor. The work of revision before publication is being left mainly in his hands, but a general Episcopal supervision of the work will still be maintained. It is hoped that these Commentaries, while presenting a direct and scholarly interpretation of the New Testa ment, based upon the work of the great English Commentators, will, at the same time, contain such references to Eastern religious thought and life as may make them serviceable to both Christian and non Christian. The series will, in due course, if funds permit, be translated into the leading Indian Vernaculars. It isinevitable that in the interpretation of the New Testa ment there will be differences of Opinion, and it has seemed best to allow these differences to appear in the series rather than to aim at a colourless uniformity The final responsibility for the views taken of particular passages will rest with the individual contributors. The thanks of the Synod Committee are given to the Editors of the Cambridge Bible for Colleges and Schools for their kind permission to quote freely from that Series, and also to the Cambridge University Press and the Delegates of the Oxford University Press for a similar permission to use the text of the English Revised Version in this volume.
