The Fourfold Gospel
J. W. McGarvey and Philip Y. Pendleton (1914)


ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC EDITION
OF THE FOURFOLD GOSPEL.

      The electronic edition has been transcribed from a copy of the The Fourfold Gospel by J. W. McGarvey and Philip Y. Pendleton (Cincinnati, OH: Standard Publishing Company, 1914).

      I have attempted to transmit the printed text as accurately and faithfully as possible. There has been no concern for normalizing the spelling, capitalization, and abbreviations. I have let stand, for instance, the authors' use of variants such as "offense" and "offence"; i. e. and "that is"; "viz." and "namely"; "comp." and "compare"; "synoptists" and "Synoptists." Pagination has been represented by enclosing the page number within brackets following the last complete word on the page of the printed text.

      I have offered corrections in some 173 places. These emendations are for (1) Scripture reference errors (e. g., Num. xxxii. for Num. xxx. 2; John iii. 9, 10 for III. John 9, 10); (2) missing element of paired punctuation (parentheses, brackets, and quotation marks); spelling when the word affects meaning (e. g. "beside" and "besides"); non-standard English ("an rule" rather than "a rule") typesetting or printing errors (e.g., "drachm" for "drachma"; "on thees ey" for "on the eyes"). These emendations are detailed in the critical apparatus.

      This electronic edition of Philip Y. Pendleton's and J. W. McGarvey's The Fourfold Gospel is in the public domain and may be distributed freely and used for personal, non-commerical, or commerical purposes. Although no permission is required for use of this work, the editor does appreciate hearing about how it is being used to promote Bible study and to honor our Soon-Coming King. The commentary was first published online with Dr. Hans Rollmann's Restoration Movement Texts at Memorial University of Newfoundland.

      Addenda and corrigenda are earnestly solicited.
