The Human Element in the Gospels: A Commentary on the Synoptic Narrative. E-book. Formato PDF George Salmon   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

Those who read this book will not require from the Editor's Preface anything more than an account of the relation of the printed volume to the Author's manuscript.In January 1905 the notes on the Synoptic Narrative which Dr Salmon had left were placed in my hands with a view to their publication if I should consider them to be in a sufficiently completed state. I found that there were two sets of note books, marked A and B respectively; the former consisting of thirteen volumes, the latter of seventeen, besides a book containing what I have here printed as the Author's Preface. A and B represent the first and second drafts of Dr Salmons notes; the second draft stops abruptly at a point noted on p. 510 of this volume.On careful consideration, I came to the conclusion that the second draft was, on the whole, the worthier presentation of Dr Salmons views, although it appears from a note in one of the volumes that he was not altogether satisfied on this point himself.
