PARENTIBUS OPTIMIS STUDIORUM FAUTORIBUS HAS PRIMITIAS LABORIS MEI DEDICO "...In this book an attempt is made to trace the origin and early history of the doctrine. The material was originally gathered while the author was a student at the Union Theological Seminary, New York City. For whatever it may contain that is good, I am indebted to my teachers there, Professorsjam.es E. Frame, E. F. Scott, F. J. Foakes Jackson, and James Moffatt, whose inspiring scholarship and kind patience made study an adventurous pleasure. To another former teacher, Professor H. A, Wolfson of Harvard University, I am indebted for his gracious kindness in verifying the references to rabbinic sources. Professor Robert P. Casey of the University of Cincinnati and the Rev. Dr. Edward R. Hardy, Jr. of the General Theological Seminary, New York City, have read the work in proof, and I am deeply grateful to them for their valuable and helpful criticism." J. B.
