PREFACE
IN the German edition, the present work comprises three parts (8, 10,
and 12) of the well-known "Religionsgeschichtliche Volksbuecher." The
present edition gathers these discussions of the Johannine (and
incidentally of the Synoptic) problem into a single volume. It has the
further advantage--through the kindness of Prof. Schmiedel--of
incorporating many manuscript improvements in and additions to the
German text. For instance--not to mention smaller additions--S:S: 26
and 27 in Pt. I. Chap. III. (pp. 130-136), the second and third
paragraphs of S: 13 in Pt. II. Chap. V. (pp. 255-257), and the second
note in the Appendix (pp. 270-277) are entirely new. In fact, in this,
as in other matters, Prof. Schmiedel has spared himself no trouble in
order to lay the results of his studies in as complete a form as
possible (having regard, of course, to the limitations imposed by a
popular German series) before his English readers. In the List of Books
at the end of the volume references will be found to some of the
author's contributions to the "Encyclopaedia Biblica "which bear
directly upon the subject under consideration. It is hoped that the
present work will serve as an introduction, and in some respects as a
supplement, to Prof. Schmiedel's famous "Encyclopaedia" articles.
