The Gospel according to St. John. With Notes, Critical and
Practical. By the Rev. M. F. Sadler. (Bell and Sons.)—Mr. Sadler has put together here a very valuable and useful body of notes. His stand-point is probably somewhat different from that which we should ourselves occupy ; but we should probably find ourselves at one with him in the greater part of his exegesis. That part of his introduction which bears on the subject of the authorship and authenticity of the Gospel is, we venture to think, somewhat obsolete, in the view of what Professor Weiss has lately published on the sub- ject; but it states the case of the orthodox as it is usually presented with sufficient clearness. The "critical" notes are a feature in the commentary which is much to be commended. There is no reason why the English reader should not have some notion of this part of the subject.
