Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Monthly Religious Magazine, Vol. 42 The boy who killed the bird, and cut it in pieces, to find where the song came from, is not a bad representation of the way in which the Fourth Gospel has been handled to discover the secret of its power. Ever since it came into possession of the Christian Church, it has nourished the faith and piety of the loftiest and the lowliest minds, such as Origen, Augustine, and Schleiermacher, among thinkers and theologians, and the great company of spiritualized Christian believers who have found here an open way to the heart of. God. The question, Who wrote the Fourth Gospel if you mean by that who held the pen that formed the letters and words, is a question of very inferior moment to any one whose spiritual vision has been clarified by it for to him there is only One who could have inspired it, even he whose interior life is there commem orated and most fragrantly set forth.
