The Theology of the Old Testament: Edited from the Author's Manuscripts By of Biblical Hebrew and Old Testament New York, College, Edinburgh, College, from the (Classic Reprint)

The master hand, it will easily be seen, has not put this work in order for the press. The subject was long in Professor Davidson smind. He gave it a large place in his College Lectures. He was constantly engaged in writing upon it and in recasting what he had written, modifying his statements and revising his conclusions. He prepared a large mass of matter, but he did not survive to throw it finally into shape for publication. It has been a difficult and anxious task to deal for the best with the abundant material Dr. Davidson smanuscripts bear on every page impressive evidence of the immense pains he took with things, and the lofty standard he set before him in all his professional duty. Much of the matter came to me in a variety of editions, four, five, or six in not a few cases, the long results of unceasing study and searching probation of opinion. It has been far from easy to decide between one form and another, all being left undated, and to bring the different parts into proper relation. I have not thought it right to take liberties with my departed friends work. I have given it substantially as he left it, adding only an occasional note where that seemed specially appropriate or needful. Nor have I judged it within my province to depart from his ways in the use of Scripture or in anything else.
