Excerpt from The Local Colour of the Bible, Vol. 3: Matthew-Revelation

This volume, which completes the series of articles dealing with the background to the Biblical narrative, is arranged upon a plan which differs in some respects from that of the first two volumes. For the structure of the four Gospels precludes that continuous treatment in historic sequence which we followed in the books of the Old Testament. The four Gospels tell the same story, though their style and chronology vary, so that, even if the incidents in the Life of our Lord were placed chronologically, the system by which the separate books of the Bible have been dealt with in the previous volumes would involve, in this one, needless repetition and com plex cross-references.
