Book Description
Excerpt from The Church Quarterly Review, Vol. 115: January 1933 A Study of the Historical Character of the Discourses in the Fourth Gospel. The historical character of the discourses - have they a historical character? Can the discourses in the Fourth Gospel, in which the Gospel preached to Jerusalem is embodied, be regarded as in any sense historical? This is our question. I propose, necessarily very briefly, to review the discourses in the Fourth Gospel, and to note the presence of any indications in the substance of the discourses Of their historical character. But I may say, beforehand, that to the question - are the discourses as they stand historical? - the only possible answer is that they are not; and that to the question, How far are the discourses historical? I do not believe that anything like a precise answer can be given, or, from the nature of the case, ever will be given. We are considering, then, this question, not - are the discourses historical? But - what indications do they contain that we have in them any kind Of record of discourses actually delivered?
