Studies in the Gospels (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Studies in the Gospels

These Studies, written for the most part some years ago, are the fruit of this conviction; not that in them I have gone out of my way to seek the hard passages in the Gospels, although I have not shunned such. They are the fragments of a much larger scheme, in which I had not advanced far before I saw plainly that I could never hope to complete it; and which I thereupon laid aside. Gathering up lately a portion of what I had written, for publication, I have given it as careful a revision as my leisure would allow, have indeed in many parts rewritten it, seeking to profit by the results of the latest criticism, as far as I have been able to acquaint myself with them. For my labours I shall be abundantly repaid, if now, when so many controversies are drawing away the Christian student from the rich and quiet pastures of Scripture to other fields, not per haps barren, but which can yield no such nourishment as these do, I shall have contributed aught to detain any among them.
