From the Preface: "Special attention is given to the social and historical background, for these serve as the settings of profound messages, the truth of which is not otherwise evident. This study of the New Testament as a work of literature does not in any sense weaken its claim to inspiration; it approaches its contents in our familiar way in order the better to separate its timeless and universal values from their local and temporary settings."
