Salmon, George. Human element in the gospels: a commentary on the synoptic narrative; ed. by Newport J. D. White. *$4.50. Dutton.
“By ‘the human element’ is meant, in distinction from divine revelations, ‘things that can be proved by ordinary historical testimony’—including, as Dr. Salmon assumes, the miraculous element in the gospels. His work is essentially devoted to an investigation of the sources of the gospel story, conducted with a purposed independence of traditional opinions.... ‘Editorial blunders’ are found in Matthew, and Luke is found to have ‘taken liberties with the earlier tradition’ of the resurrection. The Greek text only of the gospels, substantially that of Wescott and Hort, is given in parallel columns, beginning with the entrance of Jesus on his public career.”—Outlook.
“While the reader comes upon interesting and suggestive remarks, he meets with no real or consistent solution.”
