Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expositor, 1891, Vol. 3 IN the expositor Of last July there appeared an article from the present writer entitled, Did\ St. Paul Use a Semitic Gospel9 That article was confessed to be a mere side issue to a much wider theme Of investigation; and though complete in itself, and of great importance, as seeming to prove that the words Of the Lord Jesus existed in written form during the fifties Of the first century, yet the stability of its positions must ultimately repose upon the establishment, on other grounds, of the wider ques tion, Was the Gospel wholly or partially first written in Aramaic? If the reader was conscious of a slight z'x'afepov wpdtgpov in the process of argument, it may perhaps be condoned by the fact that the order of discovery is not always the order of logic. The task then to which we wish to address ourselves in a series of articles about to appear in this magazine is to prove the existence of an Aramaic Gospel embedded in our present Gospels, and to unveil its contents. The method of research pursued in our investi gations is certainly aself-originated and independent, and though we shall occasionally come upon the track of other explorers, we shall for the most part strike out a path for ourselves.
