Excerpt from The Gospel History and Doctrinal Teaching Critically Examined This manuscript is of great importance, both on account of its antiquity and because it is in all probability one of the fifty copies of the Scriptures which Constantine ordered to be made in Byzantium in A.D. 331, under the superintendence of Eusebius. These evangels, or gospels, were originally anonymous, and even so late as the time when the Codex Sinaiticus was written their titles are simply, "After Matthew," &c. These evangels make no allusion to any supernatural help, or Divine inspiration, but show from the manner in which they unhesitatingly contradict each other that the idea of infallibility, or canonicity, such as was given in their time to the books of the Old Testament in the synagogue, was entirely foreign to the authors with respect to their own writings. The following pages, some portions of which have already appeared in print, contain the results of modern critical enquiry, combined with original investigation, into the origin and historical value of these biographical narratives. The canonicity of our present gospels was not established till the Council of Nice in A.D. 325. Pappus, in his Synodicon to the Council, tells us how it set about choosing the gospels which it intended to adopt out of the immense number of gospels then in existence.

Excerpt from The Gospel and Its Earliest Interpretations: A Study of the Teaching of Jesus and Its Doctrinal Transformations in the New Testament Any particular religion this view may, indeed, take into account if they lie in the domain of history, regarding the message which a religious teacher delivers in its rela tion to his environment and to his predecessors. But these human aspects of religion mark the limitations of history. Foreign to its occupation are all speculations and presumptions regarding the superhuman influences which may be supposed to have determined or affected the message of a teacher or the lives of believers. Inspira tion may be a fact, but it is not a fact for the historian, and is not, indeed, historically demonstrable.

Excerpt from The Gospel History and Its Transmission The more we investigate the early history of the Christian Church with open and unprejudiced eyes, the more we find ourselves in a strange world, dominated by fixed ideas that are not our fixed ideas and permeated by an intellectual atmosphere quite different from ours. We come to ourselves, and we rub our eyes and wonder if what we have been gazing upon ever had any reality. It was for the student in this state of mind that my book was written. What I have attempted to shew is, that at least the Gospel according to 5. Mark is in touch with the actual condition of Palestine in the times of the Herods; and, further, that the course of events in the second century enables us to understand some of the reasons which led the Church to cherish on the whole a historical, as distinct from an ideal, account of the foundation of Christianity.

Excerpt from The Teaching of Jesus, Vol. 1 of 2 It affords me great pleasure to see my work on the teaching of Jesus thus appearing in an English translation; and I have to tender my warmest thanks to the publishers and the translator for the care and pains they have bestowed upon this edition of my work. At the same time, I wish briefly to indicate, for the English reader, the interest which prompted me in the prosecution of my task, and which, I hope, this work may awaken, and in some measure satisfy, in the minds of others. My interest in the historical treatment of the teaching of Jesus arises from the conviction that the historical Jesus Christ, in His annunciation, by word and deed, of the kingdom of God, was the perfect revelation of God for men; and from the desire that this conviction may, more than ever heretofore, have practical sway in the scientific study and the popular dissemination of Christian truth. The teaching of the Founder of the Christian religion must, with entire consistency, be employed as the standard for testing all Church doctrine and tradition; the highest authority must be accorded to it in regulating our own practical Christian life as well as Christian doctrine.
