It will be generally conceded that he has adopted an untenable position, and that, though his rejoinder to the learned Bishop may be a vigorous assault, it is weak criticism. Sanday’s work on The Gospels in the Second Century is on the whole a better reply than the Bishop’s to the allegations of the author of Supernatural Religion, whose extreme scepticism of literary evidence is quite equalled by his dogmatic extravagance of statement.
