Background of the Gospels

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This volume has been prepared in fulfilment of the duty laid upon me in connexion with my appointment to the Cunningham Lectureship, and is now published in accord ance with the terms of that appointment. Chapters VI. And VIII. Are additional to those which formed the subject of Lectures in Edinburgh in February and March 1907. The notes in the Appendix consist partly of illustra tive quotations, and partly of discussions on points which could not suitably be handled in the body of the book.
