Excerpt from The Gospels as Historical Documents, Vol. 3: The Fourth Gospel

My aim in this volume has not been, except incidentally, to throw light upon the subject-matter of the Fourth Gospel, but to ascertain - so far as can by way of a preliminary study be done, and needs to be in order to determine our attitude towards it from the outset in using it - whether it has a right to be treated as an independent historical witness alongside of the Synoptic Gospels, having drawbacks indeed in this character as they have, though largely different ones, but whose testimony cannot any more than theirs be disregarded. I am convinced that this right belongs to it, which in recent times has been and still is denied by many.

As a far fuller study than any attempted here of the actual contributions made to our knowledge of the Life and Work of Jesus Christ by each of the four Gospels I may mention T/ze Four/fold Gospel by Dr E. A. Abbott.
