Matthew is being published and more of the New Testament is being worked on.</p><p>John Bengels Gnomon is a classic Greek New Testament Commentary, the fruit of twenty years labor. Bengel condenses more matter into a line than other writers say in pages. It is said that Bengel could convey in two sentences where other authors needed two pages to say.</p><p>Bengel modestly entitled his work a Gnomon or index, a symbol of his desire for the reader to ascertain the meaning, than to save him from the trouble of personal investigation.</p><p>Bengels principles of interpretation were to import nothing into Scripture, but to draw out of it everything that it really contained, conforming to grammatico-historical rulesnot to be hampered by dogmatical considerations; and not to be influenced by the symbolical books. Bengels hope that the Gnomon would help to rekindle a fresh interest in the study of the New Testament was fully realized.</p><p>C. H. Spurgeon wrote that Bengels NT commentary is the Scholars delight! Bengel condensed more matter into a line than can be extracted from pages of other writers.</p><p>John Wesley said of Bengel, I know of no commentator on the Bible equal to Bengel and referred to him as, The great light of the Christian world.</p><p>Philip Schaff, who edited and wrote portions of the American edition of Langes Commentary, said Gnomon is a marvel of condensation and spiritual insight and will remain a classic.</p><p>Bengels work on the New Testament is a valuable resource for modern students of the Scriptures. In 1734, he published a carefully prepared Greek text of the New Testament with an Apparatus criticus, which formed the point of departure for modern New Testament textual criticism. His famous canon was: The more difficult reading is to be preferred. This critical work was followed by an exegetical one, Gnomon Novi Testamenti (Tubingen, 1742). As a brief and suggestive commentary on the New Testament, the Gnomon is still of considerable use today. Bengels chief principle of interpretation, briefly stated, is to read nothing into the Scriptures, but to draw everything from them, and suffer nothing to remain hidden that is really in them. His Gnomon exerted considerable influence on exegesis in Germany, and John Wesley translated most of its notes and incorporated them into his Annotatory Notes upon the New Testament (London, 1755).</p><p>In an age (late 1600s, early 1700s) noted for extremely wordy and dull commentaries Bengels work was concise, meaty. Noting words or phrases in the Biblical text that he considers needing an explanation, Bengel with a phrase or brief sentence points at the essential thought rather than burying it in a paragraph or page of verbiage. The Latin term gnomon (Ed: the name given to his NT commentary) refers to the hand or pointer of a sun dial. With his brief comments, Bengel sought to point the reader to the thought and intent of the text and to send him back to and keep him primarily in the Biblical text rather than leading him away from it. Of all the theological literature produced by the Pietists, Bengels Gnomon merits consideration as the best.</p><p>James Rosscup writes This work (Gnomon), originally issued in 1742, has considerable comment on the Greek, flavoring the effort with judicious details about the spiritual life. It has much that helps.... (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works or Logos)</p><p>Charles Haddon Spurgeon -- A Critical New Testament, so compiled as to enable a reader, unacquainted with Greek, to ascertain the exact English force and meaning of the language of the New Testament, and to appreciate the latest results of modern criticism. Such is the professed aim of this commentary, and the cocempilers have very fairly carried out their intentions. The whole of Bengels Gnomon is bodily transferred into the work, and as one hundred and twenty years have elapsed since the first issue of that book, it may be supposed that much has since been added to the wealth of Scripture exposition; the substance of this has been incorporated in brackets, so as to bring it down to the present advanced state of knowledge. We strongly advise the purchase of this book, as it is multum in parvo, and will well repay an attentive perusal. Tischendorf and Alford have contributed largely, with other German and English critics, to make this one of the most lucid and concise commentaries on the text and teachings of the New Testament</p><p>Philip Schaff notes that Bengels comments are a marvel of condensation and spiritual insight, must always remain a classic.</p><p>J. Weborg adds that the Gnomon draws deeply from tradition, both classical and Christian, and in pithy aphorisms captures both the letter and the spirit of the Scriptures. (Historical Handbook of Major Biblical Interpreters or Logos)</p><p>The Evangelical Dictionary of Theology notes that Bengel is often regarded as the father of modern textual criticism.</p><p>Marvin Vincent author of the highly acclaimed Word Studies in the New Testament quotes Bengel 142 times, reflecting his high regard for Bengels scholarship.</p><p>Spurgeon records the following story about Bengel - During an illness, that illustrious scholar Bengel sent for a student in the Theological Institution, and requested him to impart a word of consolation. The youth replied, Sir, I am but a pupil, a mere learner; I dont know what to say to a teacher like you. What! said Bengel, a divinity student, and not able to communicate a word of scriptural comfort! The student, abashed, contrived to utter the text, The blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, cleanseth us from all sin. That is the very word I want, said Bengel, it is quite enough, and taking him affectionately by the hand dismissed him. (My Note Book - C H Spurgeon)</p><p>Albert Hauck writes that Bengel would read nothing into the Scriptures, but draw everything from them, and suffer nothing to remain hidden that is really in them.</p><p>Bengels famous rule for determining a textual variant was The more difficult reading is to be preferred, reasoning that it was more likely that a scribe would change a more difficult reading to an easier one than vice versa.</p><p>W. J. Hart tells the following anecdote -- There was a godly man in Germany, named Bengel, who was noted for his intimacy with Christ. A friend desired to watch the saintly man at his devotions. So he concealed himself one night in his room. Bengel sat long at his table, reading his New Testament. The hours passed. At length the clock struck midnight, and the old man spread out his hands and said with great joy, Dear Lord Jesus, we are on the same old terms. Then closing his book, he was soon in bed and asleep. He had learned the secret of friendship with Christ.</p><p>Spurgeon quotes Bengel The historical matters of Scripture, both narrative and prophecy, constitute as it were the bones of its system; whereas the spiritual matters are as its muscles, blood-vessels and nerves. As the bones are necessary to the human system, so Scripture must have its historical matters. The expositor who nullifies the historical ground-work of Scripture for the sake of finding only spiritual truths everywhere, brings death on all correct interpretation.</p><p>Robert Culver notes that German Lutheran scholar Bengel was credited with making the word millennium respectable in Europe in the eighteenth century.</p><p>Charles Ryrie - The modern period has witnessed the rise of premillennial teaching. A number of commentators (like J. A. Bengel and Henry Alford) wrote from this viewpoint. (Ryries Basic Theology)</p><p>Bengel commenting on Jude 1:15, 16 said A sinner is bad...one who sins without fear is worse.</p><p>F W Farrar writes that Bengels Gnomon is a mine of priceless gems. It contains sentence after sentence exquisitely terse and finished, and throbbing with spiritual light. Few writers have so admirably succeeded in expressing in a few words the inmost purpose of each of the Epistles. A generation crowded with writers whose theology abounded in mutual anathemas is yet redeemed from the charge of sterility which has produced such a theologian as Bengel. His work must continue to have its value so long as men can recognise the richest fruits of a noble intellect, a pure spirit, and a blameless life. Lord Jesus, unto Thee I live, unto Thee I suffer, unto Thee I die; Thine I am, living or dying. These words were repeated to him in his last moments, and on hearing them he pointed with his right hand to his heart, and fell asleep in peace. (Amen!)
