Excerpt from The Apostles
As regards the date of Ads, Renan, proceeding on the assumption of Luke's authorship, tentatively assigns it to about the year 80; but Schmiedel Offers the choice of two later dates. The diver gence between the third Gospel and the Ads in the matter of the Ascension of Jesus - which in the Gospel takes place on the evening of the Resurrection, in Ads forty days later - indicates that the Gospel was the earlier writing; for the lengthened sojourn on earth argues a significant development of the idea already at work in the third Gospel, that, before his Ascension, Jesus must have continued on earth to have intercourse with his disciples and instruct them.3 The date of the third Gospel is gener ally put after 70, so Ads must have been written some years later, the surest datum being the author's ac quaintance with the works of Josephus, whopublishednothingbefore 79. Finally, Schmiedel concludes that Ads must be placed somewhere between 105 and 130, or, if the third Gospel already pre suppose acquaintance with all the writ ings Of Josephus, between 110 and 130.

Excerpt from The Apostles
"The Apostles" was published in 1866, forming the second volume of the series which had begun three years previously with the Life of Jesus. These three years had been years of wordy assault, now mainly of antiquarian interest, and the coldest of cold controversy - years in which the author of the notorious fifth Gospel faced an unparalleled flight of articles, books, pamphlets, and episcopal pastorals. The majority of these missiles are no doubt quite unreadable by this time, judging from certain specimens which I have examined; but some of the titles as given by Milsand are suggestive. There is the democratic appeal of a M. Baubil, for instance, Vive Jésus! L'Appel au Peuple du Manifeste Déicide de M. Renan; others are more loftily disdainful, M. Renan et son Roman du Jour and Leçon préliminaire à M. Renan sur la Vie de Jésus; yet others hint scandal, like Renan en Famille: Révélations curieuses; there is even extant a ditty (set to the immortal air of "We won't go home till morning"), entitled L'Evangéliste Renan, which was printed at Algiers in 1863.
Under the onslaught of this motley multitude Renan maintained a dignified silence, only broken by the still more dignified apologia in the Introduction to the present work. Such a storm he has expected; religious controversy is bound by its very nature to be embittered, partial, unscrupulous. For his part he is no controversialist; all with which he is concerned is the reconstruction and explanation of the past, in the light of history and the emotional needs of the human race. It is no business of his to shake the faith of simple believers; he aims at being an historian, and "one cannot be at once a good controversialist and a good historian." There is no questioning the candour and sincerity of this personal avowal, and it supplies a clue to the curious situation that Renan is a red rag to the more aggressive bulls of orthodoxy and rationalism alike. There is no need to dwell on his irritating effect upon the former; but what is the disillusioned positivist, viewing everything in the dry light of actualities, to make of a man who sweeps away the whole supernatural machinery of the Resurrection, yet a page or two onward proclaims its mystical truth and exalts an hysterical woman as, after Jesus, the most potent founder of the faith of Europe? Is such rapturous enthusiasm over hallucinations quite worthy of a serious historian?
