The Authenticity of John’s Gospel: Deduced from Internal Evidence, with Answers to Objections

by James Orr

Publishers:

Johnson and Rawson; Williams and Norgate

, 1870

Overview

While many critics of John’s Gospel focus on the discrepancies between it and the other three Gospels, James Orr decided to make a study of the “undesigned” coincidences. “Statements in the Synoptical accounts that, taken by themselves, had seemed unlikely or even contradictory, had, by the testimony of the Fourth witness, been either reconciled or rendered credible.” Orr dives his study into two parts: in the first, he examines these coincidences and in the second he answers common objections to the Gospel’s authenticity.
