The Epistles General of St. John? (1) The first epistle : No name indicating author. ship appears in the letter itself, but the style is that of the fourth gospel, and thirty-five pa ages are nearly the same in each. The extern a levidence for its genuinene and authenticity is very strong. Evidence in its favor is adducible from Polycarp, Papias as quoted by Eusebius, Origen, Alexandria, and Tertullian, and Eusebius ranked it among his homologoumena, or books unanimously accepted. Scaliger (1484-1558) believed that it was not from the Apostle, and was followed by Lange and the Tübingen school; but the general opinion of Christians is strongly in its favor. Its date has been fixed between A. D. 70 and 96 or 100, the last being the most probable. The epistle treats of love. The definition "God is Love" is from iv. 16. Its opening looks like an a ault upon the doctrine of the Docete (q. v.). The verse (v. 7) concerning the Heavenly witne es is considered an interpolation. (2) The second epistle: It is written by "the elder" to "the elect lady and her children." The external evidence for it is much weaker than that for the first epistle, and Eusebius placed it among the antilogoumena, or books not universally ac cepted. Its theme, like that of the first, is love, but love does not require heretics to be entertained. (3) The third epistle : This was addre ed by "the neering Diotrephes is censured, Demetrius commended. In point of evidence it stands like the second epistle. 3. The Gospel according to St. John: New Test. Canon : The fourth gospel, and distinct from the others in various respects. They record chiefly the ministry of Jesus in Galilee; it treats of His labors in Jerusalem. While they chiefly ill us. trate His humanity, it gives special prominence to His divinity. But there are resemblances too. The family of Bethany figures in Luke x. 38-42, as well sin, as; expect, Xenophon, exist. ph = f. John-a-dreams as in John: the last gospel records the feeding of the five you sand (John vi. 5-13), as do the others (Matt. xiv. 15-21, Mark vi. 35-44, Luke ix. 10-17). So also the crucifixion and the resurrection are recorded in them all. The author of the book of John was well acquainted with the topography of Jerusalem (ch. v. 2, ix. 7), and with the Jewish feasts, which he carefully records (ii. 13, vii. 2, x. 22, .). His Greek is of a Hebraic type, though not so much so as that of the Apocalypse. As the author tells more than any of the other three evangelists what pa ed within the apostolic circle, presumably he was himself an apostle. The book itself does not name its author; the nearly uniform voice of antiquity a igned it to St. John. In modern times there has been serious controversy on the subject, rationalists maintaining that it was penned too late in the second century to have emanated from St. John, who, at latest, cannot have lived beyond A. D. 100. The large majority of theologians, however, consider it of earlier date. On the one hand Papias, as quoted by Eusebius, does not seem to have known it, though he was bishop of Hieropolis, near Ephesus, where it is believed to have been first published. On the other hand, there are abundant testimonies to it in the latter half of the second century. Thus, Tatian (166-171) quotes it often, and Irenæus, bishop of Lyons, from about 177, does so eighty times; also perhaps Justin Martyr refers to it about A. D. 150, 138 or 139, or 147, and again in 161; po ibly Barnabas and Ignatius earlier. If in the latter half of the second century the knowledge of it was so widely diffused, there must have been a prior period during which acquaintance with it must have been spreading from a center. Hilgenfeld, a recent rationalistic writer (1875), is willing to grant it as early a date as 132 to 140, and another one, Keim (1875), as 130 A. D. But in 1868 Prof. Hofstede De Groot, of Groningen, in Holland, cited from Hippolytus a statement that the gnostic Basilides, whose exact date had been unknown, had a communication from Matthias the Apostle, whom he person ally knew. If so, he lived in the first century, and he undoubtedly quotes the Gospel by St. John. If Hippolytus' statement is correct, then the Gospel by St. John is undoubtedly a production of the apostolic era. 4.
