Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The Fourth Gospel and some recent German Criticism. Let me accordingly inform the reader that, when asked for a second edition of a work which so, at all events, people were good enough to tell me had served a useful purpose, I was for some time loth to acquiesce in such altogether unexpected but certainly encouraging suggestions. It was, indeed, far from being the case that, because the fates had determined that I should stray into Synoptic fields and the region of Eschatological research, I had therefore ceased to be fascinated by the Johannine literature en masse, and in particular by the very noble treatise which bears the name of John ;on the contrary, I had actually betaken myself to what bade fair to be a prolonged and laborious attempt to trace connecting links between the Schmerzenskind der Theologie (as Pfleiderer calls the Fourth Gospel) and that great writing of may I say it? uncertain provenance which is designated The Epistle to the Ephesians. My hesitation was, of course, partly due to natural reluctance even temporarily to forsake a work which was already rising on the stocks; it was, However, mainly grounded in a difficulty which stared me in the face. To put the matter in a nut-shell: I was speedily compelled to realize that, were any action taken in response to the aforesaid kindly suggestions, it would mean that time must be found for the drastic re-writing of a work which I could but turn to with added dissatisfaction and no small measure of dissent. Mere revision was not to be thought of. Somehow or other time has been found or rather made; and in the event the present volume arrives at its completion.
