To distinguish between history and interpretation is difficult in
all the gospels, and perhaps most difficult in the Fourth Gospel.
In his sequel to The Interpretation of the Fourth Gospel, Dr Dodd
attempts, with the historical question in mind, to discover the
particular strain of common tradition on which the unknown author
worked. This detailed study of St John's Gospel is in two parts. In
the first Dr Dodd examines the narrative material - the Passion
narrative, the Ministry and the chapters on John the Baptist and
the first disciples - and in the second he makes a detailed
examination of the Sayings. As against theories which assert the
dependence of the Fourth Gospel on one or more of the Synoptic
Gospels, Dr Dodd marshals a mass of evidence to show that behind it
there lies an ancient tradition independent of the Synoptic
Gospels, deserving serious consideration as a contribution to our
knowledge of the historical facts concerning Christ. This critical
and historical investigation of the most significant and original
of books completes Dr Dodd's study of the Fourth Gospel. It is
persuasive in the coherence of its results, as well as of absorbing
interest in its working. It has been welcomed by all students of
Christian origins as an important addition to our understanding of
the earliest traditions about Jesus, and of the character of this
Gospel.
