Joseph B. Lightfoot

Biblical Essays: Joseph B. Lightfoot

The opening essay On the Internal Evidence for the Authenticity and Genuineness of St John s Gospel was published in the Expositor in the early months of 1890, and has been reprinted since; the essay On the Mission of Titus to the Corinthians appeared in the Journal of Sacred and Classical Philology nearly thirty years ago, while the ninth essay On the Structure and Destination of the Epistle to the Romans consists of three famous articles contributed within the years 1869 and 1871 to the Journal of Philology, two by Dr Lightfoot and one by Dr Hort. Beginning with a criticism of M. Kenan stheory that our present Epistle to the Romans represents no less than four letters addressed to different Churches, Dr Lightfoot proceeded to formulate a countertheory of an original letter (our complete Epistle) addressed to the Church of Rome, and a shorter recension of a more general character reissued by the Apostle at a later period and intended for a wider circle of readers.
