Excerpt from The Gospel and Its Tributaries
My aim in the book has been to indicate how Chris tianity drew into itself many tributary elements, and in so doing transformed them, so that the result was not some nondescript composite religion, but a new and in some ways more adequate expression of the message of Jesus. The survey is limited to the period covered by the New Testament. My first intention was to extend it to the time of the Council of Nicaea, for it was in the second and third centuries that the fusion of Christian belief with contemporary thought was carried fully into effect. But the traditional View of the New Testa ment as complete in itself is not wholly artificial. In that first century the gospel was formulated, the forces which were to modify it came definitely into play, the task which lay before it was clearly envisaged. The subsequent period only wrote out again in larger characters what may be read in the New Testa ment.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the development of Jesus' teachings from their origins in Jewish tradition to their transformation in the following centuries under the influence of Hellenistic thought. The author argues that the gospel of Jesus was not a wholly new religion, but rather a reinterpretation of existing Jewish beliefs in light of new insights and experiences. The author also examines the ways in which the gospel was shaped by the intellectual and cultural currents of the Hellenistic world, including Greek philosophy and the mystery religions. The book sheds light on the complex interplay of tradition and innovation in the rise of Christianity, and shows how the gospel of Jesus evolved into a world religion that spoke to the needs and aspirations of people across cultures and centuries. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
