The Gospel According to Peter : a Study. By the
Author of "Supernatural Religion." (Longmans.)—No one will have any .difficulty in anticipating the line which the author of "Super- natural Religion" would take in dealing with the curious fragment known as The Gospel According to Peter. He thinks that the Patrine Gospel is independent of the Canonical Gospels, and em- bodies an earlier tradition. And he expresses from time to time opinions which will hardly commend themselves to any render of sound taste on points where the Petrine and the accepted Gospels differ. Of these, however, he is entitled to an opinion of his own, but he is not entitled to translate web iMaS Tat, fiCI.V441Y, Tit iOpTCIS atiTCOP by "before the first day of the unleavened bread of their feast." He speaks of his translation as "rather elm and un- polished." The fact is that he shows, not for the first time, that he is not exactly competent to deal with documents which happen to be written in Greek.
