His vast knowledge of Rabbinic literature has enabled the author to open a new field in the department of the New Testament contemporaneous history, thus throwing new light upon the country in which Jesus worked and upon the people among whom He moved. That this volume forms a valuable contribution to the literature of the New Testament may be gathered from the fact that scholars like C. Geikie and Ph. Schaff, the former in his "The Life and Words of Christ," the latter in his "History of the Christian Church" (vol. i. " Apostolic Christianity''), have made use of it in describing the land and the people in the time of Jesus. For the additions put in [] the translator is responsible.
