First published in 1938, this book reopened a question generally held to have been settled: the sources from which St John derived the material for his gospel. The accepted view, that he was familiar with the narratives of Mark and Luke and made use of these as sources, Mr Gardner-Smith finds not proved, and he examines the whole gospel afresh in order to test this theory and to find out if there is any evidence that tells against it.

Originally published in 1934, this book contains the second of three volumes on the origin and progress of the Christian faith from its origins in Judaism until the early twentieth century. Volume two reviews the spread of Christianity during the Roman Empire, as well as the Church's status in Western Europe during the Middle Ages and the English Reformation. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of Christianity and its development.

Originally published in 1930, this book contains the last of three volumes on the origin and progress of the Christian faith from its origins in Judaism until the early twentieth century.

This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of Christianity and the Church's role in the lives of its devotees.
