Über diesen Titel

Biografía del autor:

Bernhard Pick (1842-1917) was born in Prussia and educated at Union Theological Seminary in training for the Presbyterian ministry. He then became a Lutheran and pastored congregations in New York and Pennsylvania. His publications include 'The Apocryphal Acts of Paul, Peter, John, Andrrew and Thomas' 'Historical Sketch of the Jews since the Destruction of Jerusalem' and 'The Life of Christ according to the Extra-canonical Sources'

Reseña del editor:

The importance of the utterances in the Talmud concerning Jesus must not be misunderstood and still less must they be over-estimated. We therefore call the readers attention to the fact that they are not based on contemporary evidence and thus possess no historical value. They are the expression of a non-C hristian spirit mostly hostile and sometimes positively offensive. In extenuation of the Talmud we must say, first, that the animosity between Jew and Gentile is deep and mutual. When the Gentile blames the Jew for wrong thinking, the Jew may equally blame the Gentile for wrong doing, for the Jew has had to suffer persecution of the crudest kind. Further we must bear in mind that the Talmud is not one book with a consistent tendency, but a collection of innumerable writings, essays, anecdotes, and what not. Side by side with noble and deep thoughts we find worthless gossip. On account of the latter we must not forget the former and therewith depreciate the entire Talmud.
