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
Since the First Edition of this book was published in 1890, the First Three Gospels have been the subject of eager study, both in this country, and in the great schools of the continent of Europe and the United States. English students will find the results of these manifold labours duly registered (from different points of view) in the two great collections of Dr. Hastings Dictionary of the Bible, and Encyclopadia Biblica. In the absence, however, of any more recent popular exposition, this book is re-issued, with some modifications, in the hope that it may still supply to some of those who approach the New Testament without technical aid, the outhnes of a method of Uterary and historical enquiry into the sources of the Ufe of Jesus. The value of the Gospels as witnesses to the career of the prophet of Nazareth having been recently challenged from opposite sides by the exponents of secularism and theosophy, an attempt has been made, in a concluding chapter, to sketch the general results to which the previous treatment appears to lead. Those whose duty as teachers has required them to convey to others the impression of the most significant figure in human history, will be most ready to acknowledge the difl culty of the task, and to forgive the hand that fails. Oxford, September 7th, 1904. J. E. C. The reader who may desire some acquaintance with the origin and progress of these studies, is referred to the authors lectures on The Bible in the Nineteenth Century (1903), Lectures V. vii.
