Excerpt from The Bible and Rationalism, Vol. 3: Or Answer to Difficulties

During the last century, rationalistic criticism has tried various means to combat the Gospels. First they made the attempt to eliminate from them every supernatural element by the natural explanation of miracles; then they tried to deny their authenticity and historic value with the aid of the mystic explanation of Strauss or hypotheses of the School of Tübingen (Germany). In our time, they acknowledge that the origin of the Gospels can be explained neither by mysticism alone, nor by the naturalism of Paulus or the system of Baur on Paulinism and Petrinism, but persist, nevertheless, to combine all these systems in small doses, and so to contest the testimony of the historians of the Saviour. It is, therefore, necessary to establish the authenticity of the four Gospels and to answer the objections they allege against their accounts.

Behold the general proof for this authenticity furnished by tradition. Since the second century of the Christian era, St. Irenæus ( about 140 - towards 202 ) affirms with the greatest precision that there are four canonical Gospels, and his testimony is so much more grave and important as, a native of Asia Minor, disciple of St. Polycarp of Smyrna and Bishop of Lyons, he is, so to say, the voice of both the Churches of the East and West.
