Pastoral Theology of the New Testament e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The Lectures which are here translated were edited by Dr. Bernhard Eiggenbach, and published in 1880, within two years after the lamented author's death. They were delivered by Dr. Beck as Ordinary Professor of Theology in the University of Tubingen, in two separate courses, and were gradually brought to their present form during a professoriate of more than thirty years. They are the fruit of a lifetime devoted with rare ability and piety to the study of Holy Scripture, and to its scientific and practical exposition. His earlier labours in the ministry, both in town and country, gave him personal experience of the care of souls, and his Christliche Reden - to which reference is often made in the following pages - delivered from the pulpit of Tubingen, and published in six volumes, bear ample witness to the power and insight with which he could apply the truths of Scripture to the life and the thought of his time.
