Samuel J. Andrews: Life of our Lord. "A new and wholly revised edition." New York, 1891 (

On the Apocryphal Traditions of Christ, comp. throughout
Alfred Resch: Agrapha. Aussercanonische Evangelienfragmente gesammelt und untersucht. With
an appendix of Harnack on the Gospel Fragment of Tajjum. Leipzig, 1889 (520 pp.). By far
the most complete and critical work on the extra-canonical sayings of our Lord, of which he
collects and examines 63 (see p. 80), including many doubtful ones, e.g., the much-discussed
passage of the Didache (I. 6) on the sweating of aloes.

Abbé Constant Fouard: Saint Peter and the First Years of Christianity. Translated from the second
French edition with the author’s sanction, by George F. X. Griffith. With an Introduction by
Cardinal Gibbons. New York and London, 1892 (pp. xxvi, 422). The most learned work in
favor of the traditional Roman theory of a twenty-five years’ pontificate of Peter in Rome from
42 to 67.
The apocryphal literature of Peter has received an important addition by the discovery of fragments
of the Greek Gospel and Apocalypse of Peter in a tomb at Akhmim in Egypt. See Harnack’s
ed. of the Greek text with a German translation and commentary, Berlin, 1892 (revised, 1893);
Zahn’s edition and discussion, Leipzig, 1893; and O. von Gebhardt’s facsimile ed., Leipzig,
1893; also the English translation by J. Rendel Harris, London, 1893.

W. H. Ramsey (Professor of Humanity in the University of Aberdeen): The Church in the Roman
Empire before a.d. 170. With Maps and Illustrations. London and New York, 1893 (494 pp.).
An important work, for which the author received a gold medal from Pope Leo XIII. The first
part (pp. 3–168) treats of the missionary journeys of Paul in Asia Minor, on the ground of
careful topographical exploration and with a full knowledge of Roman history at that time. He
comes to the conclusion that nearly all the books of the New Testament can no more be forgeries
of the second century than the works of Horace and Virgil can be forgeries of the time of Nero.
He assumes all "travel-document," which was written down under the immediate influence of
Paul, and underlies the account in The Acts of the Apostles (Acts. 13–21), which he calls "an
authority of the highest character for an historian of Asia Minor" (p. 168). He affirms the
genuineness of the Pastoral Epistles, which suit the close of the Neronian period (246 sqq.),
and combats Holtzmann. He puts 2 Peter to the age of "The Shepherd of Hermas" before 130
(p. 432). As to the First Epistle of Peter, he assumes that it was written about 80, soon after
Vespasian’s resumption of the Neronian policy (279 sqq.). If this date is correct, it would followA.D. 1-100.
