Excerpt from The Memoirs of Jesus
Now it is this Person, the tout ensemble of His life and character, which is the great Revelation Of God. It is this Person who, patiently studied and understood, seems to step out of the simple pages and approach the reader with a majesty which commands, and a tenderness which allures, all but the hardest and most corrupt of human hearts. Men brought up like John Stuart Mill in a traditional contempt for the religion Of Jesus have even in a time of most unimaginative materialism been arrested by the Person in these Gospels and constrained to say that they could think of no better rule of life than so to act as would win the approval of Jesus. Light-hearted lz'ttemteurs like Ernest Renan have, along the lines Of simple historical in quiry, met the Person in these Gospels and been compelled to utter a cry Of admiration and love, and to sing His praises in prose.

Excerpt from The Memoirs of Jesus
"I esteem the Gospels to be thoroughly genuine, for there shines from them the reflected splendor of a sublimity, proceeding from the person of Jesus Christ, of so Divine a kind as only the Divine could ever have manifested upon earth." -Goethe.
Between thirty and forty years after the Crucifixion of Jesus - the exact date it is not possible to ascertain - the apostles and apostolic men perceived the necessity of writing down the memorials of their Masters life and death. At first the things which He had said and done seemed so vivid in their memory, and the call to be constantly proclaiming them seemed so good a security of their preservation, that written records would appear superfluous.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This profound masterpiece examines the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, acknowledging their authenticity as historical documents while viewing them first and foremost as memoirs. The author, while doubting the infallibility traditionally ascribed to the evangelists, underscores the Gospels' unparalleled power in illuminating the divine nature of Jesus and His enduring presence in the lives of believers. The book challenges the idea that faith requires adherence to the Gospels as infallible scriptures, instead proposing that true faith is rooted in the revelation of Jesus Christ as a living and active force in our world today. Through erudite analysis, this book sheds fresh light on the nature of faith, the Gospels, and the enduring significance of Jesus Christ as the Son of God. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330201756_0
