NOTES FOR CHAPTER IV H. J. HOLTZMANN
W. (William) Montgomery translation
84 In connexion with the following remarks on questions of principle, see also W. Wrede, Über Aufgabe und Methode der sogenannten Neutestamentlichen Theologie, 1897, 80 pp. The essay discusses the plan and arrangement of Holtzmann’s work. On p. 32 Wrede remarks: “The treatment is far too much influenced by the desire to include all kinds of opinions from other writers. To a large extent my objections have to do with these methodological questions.”
85 Holtzmann, p. 111.
86 Cf. 2 Cor. xi. 6, where Paul speaks of himself as “inexpert in speech, but not in knowledge” (τῇ γνώσει). See also I Cor. i. 5, viii. I; Phil. i. 9, etc. “Gnostic” is used above in the general sense of one who lays stress on theoretic religious knowledge.—TRANSLATOR.
