Présentation de l'éditeur

The present study was first published with two other historical essays in 1921 under the title, Toward the Understanding of Jesus and Other Historical Studies. The background of the teachings of Christ are naturally of greater interest to the reading public than researches on the fall of Rome or the agrarian conditions of mediseval Europe. It is therefore deemed advisable by the publishers to issue Toward the Understanding of Jesus separately and thus meet the demand of a wider public. In the preface of the original edition I tried to make it quite clear that this study is not a contribution to so-called higher criticism but rather to historical understanding. To explain the purpose of this little book therefore I venture to quote from the preface of the original edition The first study deals with the historical problem presented by the teachings of Jesus. The problem is why such unprecedented teachings at that particular time? This study, therefore, deals, if you please, with the fullness of time. To the scientific historian everything that has happened happened in the fullness of time and to understand intimately and realistically that fullness is the task of history.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
