Austin-Sparks from that "put down my pen" time and I do not see that conclusion as directly resulting from his study of the New Testament.
Like I said, please keep this question in mind if you come across it somewhere.. .

Another thought presented by WL during this time was, "we have recovered
life, we have recovered the
truth, now we must recover
the way." This supposedly corresponded with John 14.6 -- "I am the way, the truth, and the life." WL thus summarized his ministry in America: Mid 60's to mid 70's was "life," then the life study era to the mid 80's was "truth," then he had a "laboratory" in Taipei to find the "way." Eventually by the early 90's, this was superseded by the "high peak."
"The Conclusion" that you mentioned was a rehash of topics and the precursor for the "crystalization study of the NT" which followed.
