““The writings which make up the New Testament were none of them written to be a primary and sufficient source of information as to what the new religion was. They were all of them evidently addressed to readers already instructed, to recall what they have learnt, to supplement it, to clear up disputes which have arisen since the first instruction.

Though the facts may be few they are certain, and among these certain facts is the character of the early propaganda and of the primitive organisation.””
