5 Bâle, 1741. Five vols., covering the whole of the New Testament. The Pauline Epistles are treated in the 3rd (820 pp.) and 4th (837 pp.). The full title is: Curae philologicae et criticae . . . quibus integritati contextus Graeci consulitur, sensus verborum ex praesidiis philologicis illustratur, diversae Interpretum Sententiae summatim enarrantur et modesto examini subjectae vel approbantur vel repelluntur. 6 135 pp. Later editions 1765, 1774, 1792, 1809. The last two were brought out under the care of Ammon. 7 Four parts. Parts i. and ii. form the first volume (424 pp.), part iii. = vol. ii. (396 pp.), part iv. = vol. iii. (396 pp.). Part i. is occupied with the general principles of exegesis, part ii. with the text of the Old Testament, parts iii. and iv. with that of the New Testament. 8 Four volumes. The first (in the reprint of 1776, 333 pp.): On the natural conception of Scripture. The second (in the first edition, 1772, 608 pp.): On Inspiration and the Canon, Answers to criticisms and attacks. Third (1st ed., 1773, 567 pp.): On the History of the Canon, Answers to criticisms and attacks. The fourth (1775, 460 pp.) is wholly occupied by an answer to the work of a certain Dr. Schubert. This often mentioned but little read work does not therefore present exactly the appearance that might be expected from its title. The polemical replies occupy a much larger space than the original arguments. 9 298 pp. A striking and brilliantly written work. 10 _Paraphrasis Epistolae ad Romanos . . . cum Dissertatione de Appendice, capp._ xv. et xvi., 1769, 311 pp. (Dedicated to Johann August Ernesti.) _Paraphrasis in Primam Pauli ad Corinthios Epistolam,_ 1770, 540 pp. (Dedicated to Johann David Michaelis.) _Paraphrasis II. Epistolae ad Corinthios,_ 1776, 388 pp. Each of these works contains a preface of some length on the principles of historical exegesis. As a specimen of the paraphrase we may quote that of Rom. vi. I: Jam si haec est Evangelii tam exoptata hominibusque cunctis tam frugifera doctrina, num audebimus statuere, perseverare nos tamen posse in ista peccandi consuetudine, ut quasi eo fiat amplior gratiae divinae locus? 11 Johann David Michaelis, _Einleitung in die Schriften des Neuen Bundes,_ 1st ed., 1750. In its successive editions this work dominates the theology of all the latter half of the eighteenth century; at the beginning of the nineteenth it is superseded by Eichhorn’s Introduction. The third edition (1777) contains 1356 pp. The Pauline Epistles occupy pp. 1001-1128. 12 _Übersetzung des Neuen Testaments,_ 1790, 566 pp. _Anmerkungen für Ungelehrte zu seiner Übersetzung des Neuen Testaments,_ 4 vols., 1790-92. The Pauline Epistles are treated in vols. iii. and iv.
