Excerpt from The Fourth Gospel in Research and Debate: A Series of Essays on Problems Concerning Cerning the Origin and Value of the Anonymous Writings to the Apostle John
It is possible that Bishop Lightfoot, were he living to-day, might modify somewhat the terms by which he characterizes his Opponents. Those who antagonize - not the claim of this Gospel to be the work of John the son of Zebedee; for, Bishop Lightfoot to the contrary notwithstanding, the Gospel does not profess to have been written by him - but the theory traceable to about 170 A. D. Imputing its authorship to the beloved disciple, are still accustomed to being de scribed as rationalists and Unitarians, and by no means anticipate that the defenders of the Gospel will altogether refrain from the imputation of evil motives of which the example has been SO conspicuously set. In this no im mediate change is to be expected. But inasmuch as on the one Side a considerable and increasing number of scholars of Bishop Lightfoot''s own evangelical type of belief are to-day joining the ranks of his Opponents on the Johannine ques tion, while on the other one of the most eminent and con spicuous defenders of the genuineness is both a Unitarian and a denier of that most stupendous miracle the raising of Lazarus, it is possible his phraseology might be altered.
