Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Archaeological Discoveries This book has no competitor, for it is the pioneer work in this field. Specialists have written many ponderous volumes touching limited areas of the general subject, but no one has previously attempted to give a summary of all the discoveries in all lands, so far as these in any important way have cast light upon the New Testament writings or the life of the Primitive Church. The aim has been to make this work a "corpus" of all the more fascinating facts and all the most beautiful and worthy sayings that have floated down to us from those opulent centuries in which the earliest Church was trained. The mass of new information comes from the buried hoards of Greek and Coptic papyri, recently unearthed; but for the sake of vividness a certain amount of supplemental material has occasionally been introduced from the classics and early Fathers, such additions, however, being carefully marked in the context or notes. It is perfectly evident that no one could write of all these varied discoveries with exhaustive first-hand knowledge. While the writer has had some experience in excavation, and has been forced by his college duties to obtain a somewhat comprehensive knowledge of the general field and a special knowledge of certain parts of the field, yet slips of statement and errors of judgment are inevitable when one ventures - as in this case one was necessarily compelled to venture - into domains where personal, first-hand knowledge was impossible.
