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.
