Abstract

This research was begun in 1924 and was completed in June, 1925. The delay in publication has been due in part to uncertainty concerning the establishment of this series and then the need of securing some fortifying evidence as set forth in Chapter V. The study represents a victory in the application of scientific methods in a relatively new and difficult field. Its value scientifically rests in the fact that it is objective; namely, it validates its conclusions through establishing a standard of measurement of the comprehension of the sayings and parables of Jesus, and it uses quantitative units for determining the reliability of its data. It points in the direction of laying solid foundations for a curriculum of religious education.
