Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Commentary on the Gospel of John, Vol. 2: With an Historical and Critical Introduction It is not without a feeling of hope that I present to the Church the third edition of this Commentary, the introductory volume of which appeared in 1881. At the time when I first published this work, the two theories of Baur and Reuss held sway over scientific thought, one in Germany, the other in France. The former taught us to see in the Johannean narrative scarcely anything but a romance designed to illustrate the idea of the Logos and to cause it to pervade the Church. The other showed a little more respect to the history related in this book, but regarded the discourses inserted in this framework simply as the theology of the author himself, whoever he was, John or some one else; theology which he had himself derived from the contemplation of Jesus and from his Christian experience. When we follow attentively the progress of opinion, we are struck with the change which is gradually taking place in the estimate of this sacred writing. To speak only of points of most importance, Renan, in the masterly dissertation which he has placed at the end of the thirteenth edition of his Vie de Jésus, has, by the soundest analysis, demonstrated the indisputably historical character of the greater part of John´s narratives, and the superiority to the Synoptic story which must be accorded to them in many respects. The following, moreover, is the way in which he expressed himself, last year, in a conversation reported in the Christianisme au XIX siécle (April, 1884): "The historical character of the Fourth Gospel is continually more impressive to me. When reading it, I say to myself: It is so." If it is so, what becomes of Baur´s opinion! Hase, in his History of Jesus (1876), has given in the Introduction a very careful study of the sources of this history, especially of the Gospel of John. He decides, it is true, for its non-authenticity, but after having laid down a series of preambles which lead directly to the opposite conclusion. One feels that he must have overcome by sheer force of will all the scientific reasons which were most fitted to justify the contrary conviction.
