Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures on the Apocalypse After the publishing house of G. Reimar has issued Bleek's Introductions to the Old and New Testament, his Lectures on the Apocalypse now appear. The Editor undertakes the commission entrusted to him the more willingly, as he is enabled by it to pay publicly a part of the gratitude which he owed his affectionate teacher, who had been to him a fatherly friend. He had certainly many scruples about publishing the latter work. Since Bleek had adapted these Lectures only to two hours in the week in the Wintersemester, we cannot expect in them that profundity and fulness of learning which has made his Epistle to the Hebrews an epoch-making book in exegetical science. He had farther to consider that, with a generosity worthy of recognition and which should put many scholars to shame, Bleek had placed his Heft at the disposal of his former teacher, De Wette, for the latter's labours on the Apocalypse, so that a considerable portion of his researches was already contained in the Commentary of this scholar. Besides, he had himself unfolded his views in several Essays in different periodicals. Lastly, immediately after his death, the more comprehensive Commentary of Dusterdiek had appeared.
