The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Unseen World and Other Essays by John Fiske: historical critic possessed such a combination of analytic and of
co-ordinating powers as Baur. His keen criticism and his
wonderful flashes of insight exercise upon the reader a truly
poetic effect like that which is felt in contemplating the
marvels of physical discovery.
The comprehensive labours of Baur were followed up by Zeller's
able work on the "Acts of the Apostles," in which that book was
shown to have been partly founded upon documents written by Luke,
or some other companion of Paul, and expanded and modified by a
much later writer with the purpose of covering up the traces of
the early schism between the Pauline and the Petrine sections of
The Unseen World and Other Essays |
