Excerpt from John Fourteen: The Greatest Chapter of the Greatest BookThe first aim was as to form, the second concerns content. It is not for a moment suggested that students of St. John's Gospel have not been men of expert method. Robertson of Brighton, a name, says Matthew Arnold, which we are bound always to men tion with respect, has passed the spell of his analytic genius over its concepts and characters, and made obscure facts leap to new meaning before our eyes. Psychology was a real and conscious instrument in his hands even before its new technique was born. In a homelier way, perhaps without appreciating the trend of contemporary science, Marcus Dods grappled with the problem of personality and did his bit towards its solution. This problem emerges in every section of the current work because it is the supreme subject of the Lord's discourse. Fundamental impulses, the value and insidious charm of the sensory image, the various aspects of association, the play of memory, the forming of judgment, the sense of order, the ebulition of feeling, the power of will, the autocracy of Self - these ¿ash in ever-changing figures before be wildered observers, as Jesus pictures eternal Man hood, first in His own Person and then in the lives of His emulators. He knew what was in man. To react to the deeper symbolism of His words we must penetrate the secrecies of the common mind. Psy chology has opened the gate. Therefore the formulas of this science, now the property of students in every field, may with right be summoned to explain the issues of the Chapter. J. H.
