About the Author
Edwin Abbott Abbott (1838-1926) has been ranked as one of the leading scholars and theologians of the Victorian era. He received highest honors in mathematics, classics, and theology at St. John's College, Cambridge, and in 1862 began a brilliant career, during which he served as schoolmaster of some of England's outstanding schools. At the same time he distinguished himself as a scholar, and in 1889 he retired to his studies. Although "Flatland, a literary jeu d'esprit, " has given pleasure to thousands of readers over many generations, Abbott is best known for his scholarly works, especially his "Shakespearian Grammar "and his life of Francis Bacon, and for a number of theological discussions.

Contrast, or a Prophet and a Forger (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book delves into the enigmatic Gospel of John, challenging the conventional wisdom that it is an accurate historical account of Jesus's life. Instead, the author argues that the Gospel should be seen as an attempt at indirect biography, written by a spiritual disciple who lacked access to direct sources. The author draws attention to discrepancies between the Johannine narrative and earlier synoptic Gospels, arguing that these differences reveal the Evangelist's efforts to convey spiritual truth rather than merely recounting historical events. The book explores literary and textual evidence to support this hypothesis, shedding light on the author's creative use of tradition and his profound understanding of Jesus's teachings. Ultimately, the book reveals the unique and profound spiritual insights offered by the Gospel of John, positioning it as a testament to the power of faith and the enduring impact of Jesus's message.
