The Evidences of the Genuineness of the Gospels. Abridged Edition.

xxiii, 584 pp. Andrews Norton was a Harvard professor and Unitarian scholar and theologian. This work, originally published in parts between 1837 and 1844, provides a thorough, evidence-driven defense of the historical authenticity of the four canonical Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Norton designed his text to combat the rising tide of 19th-century German rationalism and skeptical biblical criticism - specifically targetting the mythological interpretations popularized by David Friedrich Strauss.
