Ephrem (Phillip) Kaufman     Miscellaneous Notes   Writing about the Gospel of Saint John became for Father Philip a project that consumed his interest. Unlike Father Raymond E. Brown SS, Father Philip believed that the chronology and witness of the Fourth Gospel are more reliable historically than has previously been acknowledged. This controversial work remains in manuscript. Father Philip was invited to write his biography, but he left it unfinished. Philip delighted in his reputation for being a maverick, not only for wearing a bow tie, but also for expressing progressive theological opinions. His greatest disappointment was that a Vatican congregation had never investigated or banned his 1989 book.
