Excerpt from Sources of New Testament Greek: The Influence of the Septuagint on the Vocabulary of the New Testament The study of Language, like all other provinces of investigation, has been influenced to a high degree by the modern scientific spirit. Not that this influence has come from Without and forced itself upon philological inquiry. The process has been evolved from within, and under conditions marked for it by the principles inherent in Language itself. One main result is that the Sphere of investigation is ever being widened. Light is thrown on important problems from directions the most various. Fine Art, Antiquities strictly so called, Epigraphy, F olk-lore, each contributes its quota to linguistic research. But perhaps nothing has tended so powerfully to give this particular department a place among the exact sciences as the rapid advance which the latter half of the present century has seen in the field of Comparative Philology. N ow, investigations in this province have not only reached results quite invaluable in themselves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
