Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Undeveloped Chapter in the Life of Christ: The Great Meaning of the Word Metanoia, Lost in the Old Version, Unrecovered in the New This Essay, originally contributed to the American Church Review, and afterward reprinted in a separate form, is now issued in still another edition to meet the demand which seems to have set in for it. The new title which has been given it - to which the other is now appended as explanatory - exhibits better the character and scope of the subject as one of general and popular interest; namely, the development of an aspect of the Life of Christ which has been strangely omitted in the many "Lives of Christ" that have appeared, but very naturally overlooked by the reader of the English translation of the New Testament. The Essay appeared when criticisms of the new version were in order, and was intended to draw attention to the continued mistranslation of "Metanoia," but this was only its passing intention, and a purely critical and technical treatment was therefore avoided, in order that the subject itself might develop its intrinsic and permanent interest. The reception with which it has been honored, not only by scholars, but by intelligent and thoughtful readers, within his own communion and out of it, has more than repaid the writer for his carefulness in this respect. The Paper remains unaltered, although written under conditions which compelled condensation and brevity. Many parts are less amplified than they would otherwise have been, especially in the closing pages; but the suggestions remain, and the possible deductions from them are apparent. The commendatory expressions printed at the close are extracts from letters received, either in courteous acknowledgment of copies mailed to the writers, or in spontaneous recognition of the importance of the subject. Many other such letters have been received from sources personally unknown to the author; in one case offering to purchase a large part of the present edition for distribution. The passages that are given were not intended for publication, but are appended not only for the weightiness of their endorsement, but for their contributary character, in one way or another, to the substance of the essay itself.
