Excerpt from The Central Teaching Jesus Christ: A Study and Exposition, of the Five Chapters of the Gospel According, to St. John, XIII, to XVII, Inclusive

I was the more inclined to prosecute this work for two reasons, one literary and the other per sonal.

In ranging through the literature of the subject, I did not find that there is any book which does precisely what is here intended. Certainly a student has abundant aids, both exegetical and homiletical. In the multitude Of Commentaries on the Fourth Gospel this section has its place; and its texts and topics have been treated in countless sermons, lectures, and meditations. But I doubt whether there is any one book which at once covers the ground and is conterminous with it; one that treats it as a whole in itself, in the way both of interpretation and reflection. If there be no such book, it is fit that there should be one, and Of a kind suited for reading rather than for reference. Under this impression I applied myself more willingly to a task which did not appear to be superfluous.
