The scholar William Sanday is not nearly so well known today as he once was, and as he deserves to be. Born on 1 August 1843 in Nottingham, he was educated at Repton, and then Balliol and Corpus Christi Colleges at the University of Oxford, being placed in the first class in Honours Moderations in 1863 and Literae Humaniores in 1865.

Sanday served a number of churches from 1869–76, before becoming Principal of Bishop Hatfield’s Hall in Durham, from 1876–83, while also being Examining Chaplain to Bishop J.B.

About Essays in Biblical Criticism and ExegesisThis volume gathers together in an accessible form a number of Sanday’s important articles in the areas of method, language and exegesis. In the section on method, Sanday has articles on Biblical criticism and interpretation. His writings on language include his responses in his dispute with A. Roberts. The section on exegesis touches on interpretation of the parables, understanding the son of man, issues in Acts 15, and, perhaps most importantly, his dispute with W. Ramsay. This is an important collection of essays by an important but now unfortunately often overlooked scholar of a previous generation. |
