THE General Editor of The Cambridg-e Bible for Schools thinks it right to say that he does not hold himself responsible either for the interpretation of particular passages which the Editors of the several Books have adopted, or for any opinion on points of doctrine that they may have expressed. In the New Testament more especially questions arise of the deepest theological import, on which the ablest and most conscientious interpreters have differed and always will differ. His aim has been in all such cases to leave each Contributor to the unfettered exercise of his own judgment, only taking care that mere controversy should as far as possible be avoided. He has contented himself chiefly with a careful revision of the notes, with pointing out omissions, with vi PREFACE. suggesting occasionally a reconsideration of some question, or a fuller treatment of difficult passages, and the like. Beyond this he has not attempted to interfere, feeling it better that each Commentary should have its own individual character, and being convinced that freshness and variety of treatment are more than a compensation for any lack of uniformity in the Series.

The Text adopted in this Edition is that of Dr Scrivener's * Cambridge Paragraph Bible.

For the principles adopted by Dr Scrivener as regards the printing of the Text see his Intro• duction to the Paragraph Bible, published by the Cambridge University Press. Ephesus is the Metropolis of Asia, and was consecrated to Artemis ,.,Pythagoras is said to have come from Ephesus ...The schools of Parmenides, Zeno, and Democritus, and many philosophers even of our time, are to be found there. This I say not for the sake of saying it, but to shew that Paul needed much earnest care in writing to the Epbesians .•• The Epistle overflows with lofty thoughts and doctrines. He writes it from prison at Rome ... Tbings which he scarcely anywhere else utters, he here expounds. ST CHRYSOSTOM, l?reambletQ his Homilies Qn the Epistle, INTRODUCTION'. CHAPTER I. EPHESUS: ASIA: ST PAUL'S .CONNEXION WITH EPHESUS. A BRIEF notice of EPHESUS itself will be sufficient here, for the Epistle, whatevi:r was its destination (see pp. 24, &c.), deals scarcely at aU with local features and interests. Its pictures of surrounding forms of thought and life are common, if not to the world of the apostolic age in general, certainly to t}J.e then world of western Asia Minor1• Ephesus was colonized mainly from Athens, and the Ephesians inherited something of Athenian genius. The great painters, Parrhasius (cent. 5 B.C.) and Apelles (cent. 4 B.c.), were both Ephesians. But Asiatic• elements, no doubt, largely entered into the race and thought of the people. For a great harbour and emporium the situation of the city was remarkable. It stood some miles from the open coast, on a landlocked basin, the Sacred Port. This was artificially embanked, and con­ nected with the sea by a broad channel which communicated with the river Cayster between the city and the shore. In primeval times the sea, not yet shut out by the alluvium of the Cayster, had washed the buildings of the city, but long before the apostolic age a process of silting, made worse by mistaken engineering, had begun to choke the channel, and ultimately cut off altogether the waterway to the sea. It was already difficult in St Paul's time to sail into the Sacred Port. 1 On the supposed allusion, eh. ii., to the Temple of Artemis (Diana), sec the remark, p. z7. 10 INTRODUCTION. The two architectural features of Ephesus which come up in the Scripture narrative are the Temple of Artemis (Diana), and the Theatre. The Ephesian Artemis had little if any connexion with the Huntress of Hellenic mythology. Her statue, with its many breasts, betokened the fertility of Nature, and was engraved, in Greek letters, with a magic legend. The mighty Temple, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world, stood facing eastward, outside the city walls. First and last, it was the work of 220 years ; built of shining marble; 342 feet long by 164 feet broad; supported by a forest of columns each 56 feet high; a sacred museum of master-pieces of sculpture and painting. At the centre, hidden by curtains within a gorgeous shrine (ndos), stood the very ancient image of the Goddess, of wood or ebony1, reputed to have fallen from the sky. Behind the shrine was a treasury where, as in "the safest bank in Asia," nations and kings stored their most precious things. The Temple, as St Paul saw it, subsisted till A. D. 262, when it was ruined by the Goths. The Theatre, excavated on the western side of Mount Cores­ sus, and, like all ancient theatres, open to the sky, was the largest in the Hellenic world, capable of containing 50,000 spec­ tators. Not far to the north of it lay the Stadium, or Race­ course, where also the fights of beasts; and of men with beasts, were shewn. To this we can trace figurative references in the great Epistle written from Ephesus (1 Cor. iv. 9, ix. 24, 25, xv. 32). Ephesus was the capital of Procons)llar Asia. The Roman province so called included the whole western coast of our Asia Minor and a considerable interior region. It was governed by a Proconsul, chosen by lot from only the Consulars, or Past­ Consuls; a distinction confined to Asia and Libya. The Pro­ consul was assisted, or checked, by the Agent (Procurator) of the Emperor, and by other Roman officials. But the province was permitted in a subordinate degree to administer its own affairs, through municipalities, a Senate, and a popular As- 1 The material was uncertain. It may have been even an aerolite. INTRODUCTION. II sembly, which Assembly met usually in the Ephesian Theatre. The President of the Senate and Assembly was the "Clerk," or "Recorder," of Acts xix. He held office for a year, and the year was dated by his name. Another important dignity was that of "Asiarch" (Acts xix. 31; "chief of Asia," A.V.; "chief officers of Asia," R.V.). The Asiarchs had for their main function, along· with a priestly office, the duty of providing (in a large measure) and of controlling1 the great public games and shows, all of which bore a quasi-sacred character. The earliest N. T. allusion to the region of Ephesus may be found in Acts ii. 9, where we find some pious Jews from "Asia" among the crowd at Pentecost Through these men, or some of them, the first intimations of the Gospel may have reached the plain of the Cayster. St Paul, in the early stages of his great second missionary circuit (A.D. 5I) was divinely "forbidden to preach the word in Asia" (Acts xvi. 6). But at its close, on his way from Greece to Syria, he visited Ephesus (Acts xviii. 18-21), bringing Aquila and Priscilla with him, and leaving them there. His own stay was short, as he was hastening to keep a festival, probably Pentecost, at Jerusalem; and his evangelistic work consisted wholly in "reasonings" (perhaps in one isolated "reasoning," for the verb is aorist, ver. 19) with the Jews in their synagogue. The impression made by his message must have been favourable, for he was pressed to stay, and departed with a promise to return. During his absence, in Syria and Asia Minor (Acts xviii. 22, 23, xix. 1), Apollos visited Ephesus, received full Christian instruc­ tion from Aquila and Priscilla, and passed on to Corinth (Acts xviii. 24-28). St Paul's second visit lasted over three years (Acts xx. 31), probably from A.D. 54 to A.D. 57. He arrived from the interior of Asia Minor (Acts xix. 1, where" upper coasts" means "inland parts"). He found, no doubt, some results already of the labours 1 "The Asiarch Philip" appears in the narrative of St Polycarp's martyrdom (A.D. 166) at Smyrna (eh. xii.), as the authority to whom the populace appeal to let a lion loose upon the martyr.

Without Dr. T., Eric, Jay, and Maryanne, my academic career would have never begun and I will forever be grateful for the opportunities they gave me. At Michigan, guidance in negotiating the administrative side of the PhD given by Kathleen and Michelle has been invaluable, and I have treasured the conversations I have had with them and Terre, Diana, and Molly about gardening and travelling. The network of gardeners at Project Grow has provided me with hundreds of hours of joy and a respite from the stress of the academy. I owe many thanks to my fellow graduate students, not only for attending the brown bags and Three Field Talks I gave that helped shape this project, but also for their astute feedback, wonderful camaraderie, and constant support over our many years together. Due particular recognition for reading chapters, lengthy discussions, office friendships, and hours of good company are the following: Michael McOsker, Karen Acton, Beth Platte, Trevor Kilgore, Patrick Parker, Anna Whittington, Gene Cassedy, Ryan Hughes, Ananda Burra, Tim Hart, Matt Naglak, Garrett Ryan, and Ellen Cole Lee.

  • The Matron of Ephesus 1 Petronius, Satyricon, 111-112
    The Matron of Ephesus 1 Petronius, Satyricon, 111-112 Created by E. DeHoratius Below you will find a complete text of Petronius’ Matron of Ephesus story. Following this ‘clean’ text is an annotated text with notes. It is important, however, that you become accustomed to confronting Latin and just Latin, as opposed to the stilted, noted, glossed Latin that you are often presented. Use these ‘clean’ texts for study, review, and most importantly, translation in class. DO NOT WRITE ON THIS TEXT; DO NOT CORRUPT IT. Practicing a passage, after you have pre- pared it, on a blank text such as this is the best way not only to know it but also to become a better reader of Latin. Petronius, Satyricon 111-112, the Matron of Ephesus (1) Matrona quaedam Ephesi tam notae erat pudicitiae, ut vici- narum quoque gentium feminas ad spectaculum sui evocaret. (2) Haec ergo, cum virum extulisset, non contenta vulgari more funus passis prosequi crinibus aut nudatum pectus in conspectu frequentiae plangere, in conditorium etiam prosecuta est de- functum, positumque in hypogaeo Graeco more corpus custo- dire ac flere totis noctibus diebusque coepit.(3) Sic afflictan- tem se ac mortem inedia persequentem non parentes potuerunt abducere, non propinqui; magistratus ultimo repulsi abierunt, complorataque singularis exempli femina ab omnibus quintum iam diem sine alimento trahebat. (4) Assidebat aegrae fidissima ancilla, simulque et lacrimas commodabat lugenti, et, quotiens- cumque defecerat, positum in monumento lumen renovabat. (5) Una igitur in tota civitate fabula erat: solum illud affulsisse verum pudicitiae amorisque exemplum omnis ordinis homines confitebantur, cum interim imperator provinciae latrones iussit crucibus affigi secundum illam casulam, in qua recens cadaver matrona deflebat.(6) Proxima ergo nocte, cum miles, qui cruces asservabat, ne quis ad sepulturam corpus detraheret, notasset sibi lumen inter monumenta clarius fulgens et gemitum lugentis aud- isset, vitio gentis humanae concupiit scire quis aut quid faceret.

  • The Church in Rome in the First Century
    The Church in Rome in the First Century Author(s): Edmundson, George (1849-1930) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: In 1913, George Edmundson gave the University of Oxford©s Bampton Lectures, an annual (now biennial) lecture series that concentrates on Christian theological topics. This book contains the collection of Edmundson©s lectures, all of which concern Christianity©s first two hundred years. The majority of the book©s content addresses the New Testament directly, while a couple of the later lectures concern later early church figures such as Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, and Tertul- lian. During his time, Edmundson©s work was largely ignored, as he was a clergyman rather than a New Testament scholar. Not only this, but his conclusions differed vastly from the scholarly consensus of his contemporaries. Today, readers can approach Edmundson©s work as one piece of the ongoing dialogue in literary/historical criticism of the Bible.
