Excerpt from The Crucifixion wed From a Jewish Standpoint: A Lecture Delivered by Invitation, Before the Chicago Institute for Morals, Religion and Letters
Not to tarry too long by these and other details of difference, I may sum up the character of the fourth gospel in contradistinction to the others, as an ideal, pneumatic work. Its home was not Palestine but Asia hiinor, and the date of composition cannot be placed earlier than 150 after Christ. This comparison of the fourth gospel with the three others, shows how the pictures of Jesus gradually formed and changed, enlarged and deepened. Current in the mouth of his disciples and among the young churches, were many stories about his deeds, his birth, his life and his death. As is the case always with such tradition, they grow steadily from small beginnings as they pass from mouth to mouth, and from generation to generation, and often are enlarged by the addition of foreign elements.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the portrayal of Jesus in the Gospels and questions the nature of his relationship with the Jewish community. The author argues that the Gospels, written decades after Jesus' death by individuals who never met him, are unreliable as sources of historical fact. The Gospels often contradict each other and were written with a clear theological agenda, making it difficult to separate fact from fiction. The author contends that Jesus was a Pharisee who shared the nationalistic aspirations of his fellow Jews and did not intend to found a new religion. The book challenges traditional interpretations of the Gospels and sheds light on the motivations behind the portrayal of Jesus as an outsider and enemy of the Jewish people, an interpretation that has had profound and often tragic consequences.
