Books by William Sanday

William Sanday launched his academic career with this book at the age of twenty-eight. In it he insists that the question of authorship of the Fourth Gospel must be determined inductively. Sanday lays out a case for Johannine authorship, assuming that John has the Synoptics available to him, and that the author has an accurate knowledge of Jewish customs and the topography of Jerusalem.

This volume is the result of the famous Oxford seminar on the relationship among the Synoptic Gospels. The seminar was chaired by William Sanday and its permanent members included J.C. Hawkins, W.C. Allen, and B.H. Streeter. Essays include, among others: Three Limitations to St. Luke's Use of St. Mark's Gospel by John C. Hawkins On the Original Order of Q by B.H. Streeter The Book of Sayings Used by the Editor of the First Gospel by W.C. Allen Sources of St. Luke's Gospel by J. Vernon Bartlet Criticism of the Hexateuch Compared with that of the Synoptic Gospels by W.E. Addis A Recent Theory of the Origin of St. Mark's Gospel by N.P. Williams
