on “Justification,” vol. 20, p. 954, in article PAUL. PETER, EPISTLES OF, by Dr. Kirsopp Lake; the article on ST. PETER, by the same scholar. For a date earlier than that of the Epistle of James, see the article on that book. See also ROMANS and POLYCARP to supplement what is here said of the relations of 1st Peter to these writings; and ESCHATOLOGY on the expected “second coming” of 2nd Peter, chapter 3, vs. 1–13, and JUDE, EPISTLE OF, on its relation to this book. JUDE, EPISTLE OF, by Prof. B. W. Bacon of Yale; the article on HEGESIPPUS, the authority for the little we know of Jude; the articles ESCHATOLOGY (for “the last time” of verse 18), ANGEL (for vs. 6, 9), MICHAEL, and especially the articles APOCRYPHAL LITERATURE; MOSES, ASSUMPTION OF; and ENOCH, BOOK OF, for the allusions in verses 9 and 14. Under the head of Johannine are grouped, besides the fourth gospel, the three epistles of John and the Revelation. On these see: [Sidenote: Johannine Writings] JOHN, THE EPISTLES OF, by Dr. Moffatt, and the article on St. John in regard to authorship, which may more probably be assigned to John the presbyter; and the articles ANTICHRIST (on 1 John, 2, 22), GNOSTICISM (for chap. 3, vs. 4–7), etc. REVELATION, BOOK OF, by the Rev. Dr. Robert Henry Charles, lecturer in Biblical studies, Oxford. This book, and this article, should be studied in connection with the article, also by Dr. Charles, on APOCALYPTIC LITERATURE, and the canonical apocalyptic passages in Mark 13, Mathew 24, Luke 21 and 2nd Thessalonians 2, as well as the extra-canonical apocalypses described in APOCALYPTIC LITERATURE and in the separate articles ISAIAH, ASCENSION OF, and HERMAS, SHEPHERD OF. Besides see the articles ESCHATOLOGY, MILLENIUM. The student should read the article NERO, even if “666” does not certainly refer to him, and the articles DOMITIAN and VESPASIAN on the possibility that one of them may have been “the beast that was and is not, ... himself also an eighth” (see footnote on p. 220, Vol. 23). [Sidenote: Apocryphal Literature] As an epilogue the student should read the articles APOCRYPHAL LITERATURE, both of the Old and New Testament periods, by Dr. Charles and at least the first part, by Dr. A. C. McGiffert of Union Theological Seminary, New York City, of the article CHURCH HISTORY. [Sidenote: A Biblical Encyclopaedia] The study outline sketched in this chapter will give the student some idea of the possibilities of the Britannica in helping him. The list of articles dealing with the Bible on pp. 944–945 of the Index (Vol. 29) will show that in the Britannica there is an adequate and excellent encyclopaedia of the Bible or text-book of Bible Study.
