Page for Volume What is New
Note that wherever end-notes are used at the conclusion of a Section, Part or Extension, rather than at the end of the entire Chapter, that will be indicated at the START and END of that portion, in the TEXT. At the commencement, with the heading, there will be the sign EN#, and at the end, a note to distinguish these endnotes from others. They are as usual, numbered in the text, in addition to occasional unnumbered footnotes, appearing on the page itself.
TRANSLATIONS:These may be taken from the Authorised Version, or the New King James version; but they may rely directly on Greek or Hebrew, or be taken from some version noted on the site concerned. The use of 'thou' and 'thee', for that which is not God, is frequently avoided.
EXTENSIONS:These, as the name implies, constitute a more detailed, specialised or sustained excursion into a specific topic suggested by the text, and contributing to its understanding. Especially where a reasonable number of these occur at the end of any Section, Part or Chapter, some endeavour may be made to give a measure of sequence, should any wish to read them as a series. For this reason, Extensions do not always appear in the order in which end-notes may mention them, significance sometimes taking priority over number in this respect. Their own numbers are, however, noted in the end-notes, for ease of reference.
PROCEDURE:To facilitate progress, some readers may find it good to grasp the basics of each Chapter first, leaving ALL Endnotes and Extension until the relevant Chapter is completed.
Note on Pagination:
Multiple pages occur at various points - for example, at pp. 252, 349, 1088 - to ensure ready comparability of the Second Edition with the First, which was somewhat shorter.
