Note 1 — Chapter XIII · RESURGENCE OF THE HISTORICAL PROBLEM
Reading edition
The diverging schools of documentary “construction” being thus alike unable to yield a coherent notion either of the process of Gospel-making or of the beginnings of the cultus, it is not surprising to find yet a third school of scholarly interpretation undertaking to do better, and to build on an “oral” basis where others have vainly built on documents. This theory, long ago predominant in Germany,1 is latterly represented in England by the Rev. Arthur Wright, author of The Composition of the Gospels, a Synopsis of the Gospels, and Some New Testament Problems.
