Excerpt from The Book of Wisdom: The Greek Text, the Latin Vulgate, and the Authorised English Version
The importance of the Septuagint in the study of the New Testament cannot be overrated; and I trust it will be found that I have not often omitted to note passages and words in the Book of Wisdom which illustrate the writings of the later Covenant. Many statements and allusions in the Book are confirmed by traditions found in the Targums: these have been gathered from the works of Dr. Ginsburg and Etheridge. In preparing the Commentary great use has been made of the works of C. L. W. Grimm and Gutberlet; the former is too well known and appreciated to need commendation; the latter is useful, and the writer's judgment can be trusted where it is uninfiuenced by the desire to condone the mistakes and interpolations of the Latin Vulgate. The great Commentary of Cornelius a Lapide has of course been constantly consulted. The Rev. Canon Churton kindly permitted me to inspect his ms. When my own notes were almost com pleted; and I have availed myself of his paraphrase in some few passages. Dr. Bissell's work reached me only as my own pages were passing through the press; but it does not afford any new light on obscure passages, and seems to be chiefly a compilation from German sources.

This book delves into the fascinating world of Jewish-Alexandrian thought, exploring its profound influence on the development of religious beliefs and the crucial bridge it formed between the Old and New Testaments. It meticulously examines the historical and intellectual context of this school of thought, tracing the evolution of Greek philosophy and its encounter with Jewish religious traditions in the vibrant cultural hub of Alexandria. The author skillfully navigates through complex philosophical concepts, shedding light on the attempts to harmonize reason and revelation. The exploration of figures like Aristobulus and Philo Judaeus showcases the intricate interplay between Greek ideas and Jewish scriptures, particularly through the lens of allegorical interpretation. This book unveils the intellectual ferment of the era, where Jewish thinkers grappled with fundamental questions of existence, morality, and the nature of God, drawing inspiration from both their inherited faith and the philosophical currents of the time.
