Gospels and the Gospel is a book written by G. R. S. Mead, a renowned scholar of early Christianity and Gnosticism. The book explores the origins and development of the four canonical gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) and their relationship to the concept of the gospel (good news) as a central tenet of Christian theology. Mead examines the historical and cultural context in which the gospels were written, as well as the literary and theological characteristics that distinguish each gospel from the others. He also delves into the controversies and debates surrounding the canonization of the gospels and their interpretation by different Christian communities throughout history. Through his analysis, Mead offers a comprehensive and insightful perspective on the gospels and their enduring significance for Christian faith and practice.This small volume of short sketches is put forward with the very modest purpose of roughly chronicling a moment in the ever-changing fortunes of opinion occasioned by the persistent inroads of scientific research into the domain of theological traditions. The chronicling is neither that of a scientist, nor of a theologian, but of a friendly spectator, who, as a devoted lover of both Science and Religion, has no partisan interest to serve, and, as a believer in the blessings of that true tolerance which permits perfect liberty in all matters of opinion and belief, has no desire to dictate to others what their decision should be on any one of the many controversial points touched upon. Contents: A Glimpse at the History of the Evolution of Biblical Criticism; The �������Word of God������� and the �������Lower Criticism�������; The Nature of the Tradition of the Gospel Autographs; Autobiographical Traces in the Existing Documents; An Examination of the Earliest Outer Evidence; The Present Position of the Synoptical Problem; The Credibility of the Synoptists; The Johannine Problem; Summary of the Evidence from all Sources; The Life-Side of Christianity; The Gospel of the Living Christ.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
