The Crucifixion of Christ (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Crucifixion of Christ

Inasmuch as we attach great importance to the last point made, and as our argument will rest chiefly upon it, we will explain our meaning more fully. Suppose that a professed eye-witness Of a battle described only such movements Of the troops as we, from our know ledge Of the ground, knew that it was possible for him to see from the place at which he stood. This fact alone would most likely satisfy us that he was a relia ble man. And especially would this be so, if the Observer gave a professional cast to his remarks on what he had seen. Suppose, for instance, that the Observer was an army-tailor, a maker of uniforms, and that in his description Of the troops, he noticed particularly their rich dresses, gaudy decorations, and gay trappings; our faith in the man would be greatly strengthened by his natural trade-like Observations.
