CHAPTER V.

_THE FOURTH GOSPEL._

_"Every trace has vanished of the great nameless one."_

Baur.

_"The denial of the authenticity of John's Gospel is a source of far greater difficulties than its acknowledgment."_

Ritschl.

_"The doctrine of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, is the fundamental doctrine of Christianity. Without it Christianity, as a theological and as a philosophical system, cannot rank above Rabbinism and Mahommedanism."_

Bunsen.
