For good or ill the momentous issue of the authority of Jesus Christ is bound up with the decisions which are reached regarding the authority and truth of the canonical gospels. Although many efforts have been put forth to discover a Jesus other than the divine Christ of the gospels to whom men might pledge fealty, the history of that search appears more and more clearly to have demonstrated its futility. The question of the authority and truth of the gospel witness to Christ, it accordingly appears, will continue to be a burning question for all who cannot escape the issue of their relation to him. But as one weighs the validity of the claims which the contents of the gospels make upon us, there emerges a more fundamental, although not more important and ultimate, question. That is the question of what the witness of the gospels to Christ really is. Much of the confusion and uncertainty that arises in connection with the efforts to resolve the former issue, the issue of authority, is due to erroneous conceptions of the character of the gospels themselves and of the nature of their testimony to Christ. In the interest of a partial clarification of this testimony, this study in the interpretation of the contents of the first two gospels has been undertaken. It is my plan to follow up this work with a similar treatment of the witness of Luke and John, and thus to round out my consideration of the fourfold witness to Christ. - Preface.
