SynopsisExcerpt from The Beginnings of Christianity, Vol. 4: Part I the Acts of Apostles; English Translation and Commentary It had been hoped that the first part of The Beginnings of Christianity would be completed in four volumes; but when the fourth volume was almost finished, it became sadly clear both to Editors and Publishers that considerations of space forced its division into two. Luckily a natural line of cleavage was provided by the necessity which had already made itself felt of discussing in Additional Notes subjects which were too long and complicated for the Commentary proper. These Additional Notes, therefore, will form the fifth and last volume of the first part of The Beginnings of Christianity. When the time came for preparing the Commentary it so happened that the work of editing the translation and notes fell on me, but fortunately I was able to persuade my friend and colleague, Professor H. J. Cadbury, to help my labours. We share the same general attitude towards the problems of New Testament criticism, but by a happy accident his interests are more specifically linguistic and literary, while mine are doctrinal and historical. We have divided the work of preparing the Commentary on somewhat these lines, but we have constantly invaded each other's province, and to secure unity of treatment I acted as final editor of the whole. The result is that there are many notes of which the true authorship is a forgotten secret, for neither of us knows which wrote the original draft, and many more are a mosaic (the outlines of which I trust are not always too visible) of alternately contributed sentences.
