The principal problems of the Higher Criticism of the New Testament which have been considered in recent times, in addition to those relating to epistles called Pauline which have always been prominent, arc those of the authorship, editing and sources of the synoptic gospels, the gospel of John, the book of Acts and the book of Revelation.
