The Teaching of the Gospel of John

Excerpt from The Teaching of the Gospel of John

It is the purpose of this volume to set forth the teaching of the Gospel that bears the name of John. The Epistles, though not directly included within the scope of the work, have been freely drawn upon; but no complete exposition of them has been attempted. The Apocalypse is so different in style and subject-matter that it demands separate treatment, and has served only by way of occasional illustration.

Questions which pertain to introduction are not strictly germane to our purpose, which is purely exegetical and expository, concerned only with the analysis and exhibition of the material that the Gospel presents, from whatever sources that material has been derived. Yet the authorship and the trustworthiness of the record are matters of such importance that they cannot be passed over without at least a word to indicate the point of view from which they are regarded in the study upon which we are about to enter.

It is assumed that the Gospel is the work of the beloved disciple.
