Excerpt from How to Understand the Gospels
Experience to relate, loved to set it forth at vast length, and with wearisome insistence upon its unique character. But the Evange lists are masters of clarity and precision. They handle their material with con summate skill. They can distinguish the essential from the unimportant. They know not only what to put in but what to leave out. In Oriental writings of that date, how easily there might have been at least here and there a sentence that jarred, a fault of taste, a phrase dissonantly out of tune with the rest From beginning to end, there is no such flaw in the Gospels. Is it superstitious to believe that the Evangelists were helped by a power more than human, were given an inspiration of selection That, it must be admitted, is an old - fashioned View. Yet to readers of a trained literary sense it will seem easier and more reasonable to account for the Gospels in this way than to find any other adequate explanation of what these Evange lists were able to do.
