Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gospel of St. John, Vol. 2
The supposition of some (tholuck), that the disciples may have thought that the man's sins were foreknown, and that the blindness was punishment beforehand, is so abhorrent to any notion of the justi of God, that we cannot suppose that it ver entered into their inquiry. The fact that no fewer than five distinct hypotheses as to the possibility of culpability before birth having had some place in Hebrew and contemporary thought, is an adequate explanation of the fact that they should have put this ever-recurring pro lem of evil in the particular form in which we find it.
