Scott, Ernest F. Fourth gospel: its purpose and theology. *$2. Scribner.

7–36975.

A work which “is wholly concerned with the literary form, the purpose, and the theology of ‘John.’... A twofold purpose is seen in it; primarily, the expression of a profound personal religion, and at the same time the adjustment of it intellectually to a new age and environment, in the reconciliation of Hebraic with Hellenic ideas.”—Outlook.


“Thoughtful and stimulating book.” James S. Riggs.
