Excerpt from The Variants in the Gospel Reports My friend, Mr. Weir, has asked me to write a brief foreword to his Robertson Lectures on The Variants in the Gospel Reports. Any such introduction seems unnecessary, but I am glad to have this opportunity of commending to the earnest attention of Biblical students Mr. Weirs careful and learned inquiry. The subject with which it deals is not only full of interest in itself, but is of great importance for the proper understanding of what must ever be for us the leading documents of our Christian Faith, and any light that can be thrown on the manner of their composition, or upon the underlying sources of which, in their turn, the original writers made use, cannot but be welcome. Mr. Weirs main theme is that the first three Gospels, at any rate, go back to an original Hebrew Gospel, and that the variations in their reports are largely due to their being different translations of this Hebrew or Aramaic text.
