This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... THE GREAT MEANING OF THE WORD METANOIA: LOST IN THE OLD VERSION, UNRECOVERED IN THE NEW. THE NEW TESTAMENT IDEA OF METANOIA. METANOIA is the Greek word--and letter for letter an English one, if we desire it --which bears the sublime burden of the original proclamation of the gospel. It represents the first utterance of John the Baptist as the herald of the Christ, and the first utterance of Jesus the Christ as the herald of the kingdom of God. It was their summons to mankind, preceding the announcement of the power that was approaching, of the revelation that was at hand. If we recur to the image involved in the words "herald," "proclamation"--the image implied in the narrative--it was the note of a trumpet outside the walls, and the call of a messenger to open the gates. In order the better to get at its meaning, let us now imagine some one who has never read the English New Testament, and who has had no especial bias given to his ideas by any theological system. All we will suppose for him is a knowledge of Greek and a spiritual instinct which will enable him to rise into the frequent transcendental meaning of the Greek of the New Testament. He knows enough to know that he is dealing with the record of a divine revolution in the affairs of men, and that the human language to which the account was committed is struggling to utter adequately the depth of inspiration behind it. He knows that the record was committed to writing only after the bearings of the history were fully understood and the conception of its meaning was fully matured. He knows that what is before him is a condensation as to events, and a translation as to ideas; in other words, if we confine the remark to the four gospels, that the historical part is as brief as it is...

Excerpt from The Great Meaning of Metanoia: An Underdeveloped Chapter in the Life and Teaching of Christ; A New Edition With a Supplementary Essay "Dear Walden: I have just read your 'Metdnoia' through from beginning to end, and I want to tell you how much I enjoyed it, and how much I thank you for sending it to me. "It is full of inspiration. "It makes one think of Christian faith as positive and constructive, and not merely destructive and remedial. "It makes the work of Christ seem worthy of Christ.

From the PREFACE. The first of these Essays appeared in the "American Church Review" for July, 1881 - following the memorable day in May when the Revised Version of the New Testament was issued. The paper was soon afterwards reprinted separately, and in 1882 was put into book form by the present publisher. Although its point was made timely by the revision, and by the astonishing fact that, in a work expressly undertaken in this age to correct the misapprehensions of a former age, a mistranslation involving such consequences had been over-passed and perpetuated, yet the Essay did not set out to be a criticism of the New Version in this particular. It could not help falling into something like it, but its main purpose was to draw attention to, and to be a popular exposition of, a word in whose enormous potentiality of meaning lay, as I believed, a more true and more catholic, a more spiritual and more philosophical, interpretation of Christianity. The Essay could have done as well for this-with a little modification-if the revisers had adopted a new rendering which was, in any degree, sympathetic with the real import of the original. As such, I am glad to say-after the novelty of the New Version had passed-the Essay seems to have been accepted: simply as an exposition in itself, that might at any time be in order; and as a contribution, called for under the circumstances, to the knowledge and the spirit which ought to inspire that comprehensive English expression or that happy combination of words-varying according to their connection in the text -which may venture sometime hence to represent the idea of (Metanoia); a word of whose fullness, in its initial position, the New Testament itself can be the only adequate translation, for, in that initial position, it is the key-note of its whole strain. There was nothing new in the view itself. If there had been, it could not have been true. It was as old as the apostolic age. And the revival of it was only an attempt to uncover and clear out a partially choked well. The Greek expression lay directly under the eye of any reader of the original, manifestly opening down to a great depth, provided his eye was disengaged enough from prepossessions to be alive to the fact. The word bore the hint of what it was on its very face: an intimation that the whole inward nature of man was appealed to, all its springs of action, all its possibilities of affection. Every scholar was aware of its literal meaning- and that meaning alone was in itself enough to suggest the dropping of an exploring plummet. Why this was not done, why what was so obvious was overlooked, perhaps the second Essay may explain....

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.
