Synopsis
Excerpt from The Witnesses to the Historicity of Jesus
The question of the historicity of Jesus is a purely historical question, and, as such, it must be settled with the resources of historical research. This procedure is, however, in View of the close connection of the subject with emotional and religious elements, not inconsistent with the fact that the final decision belongs to an entirely different province, that of philosophy, which also controls subjective feeling. In this sense, the question whether Jesus was an historical personage coincides with the question of the significance of personality in the general order of the world, and of the roots and motives of the inner religious life generally.

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.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of early Christianity, exploring the controversial topic of Jesus's historical existence. The author meticulously examines various sources, including Jewish and Roman writings, to assess the evidence for and against the traditional view of Jesus as a historical figure. The investigation begins by considering the curious silence of prominent Jewish writers like Philo and Justus of Tiberias, who lived around the time of Jesus but made no mention of him or his followers. The analysis then turns to the works of the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, whose references to Jesus are scrutinized for authenticity and potential bias. Delving further into Jewish perspectives, the author explores the Talmud, a collection of Rabbinical writings, and finds that its references to Jesus are often cryptic, caricatured, and lack historical weight. The book then shifts its focus to Roman sources, such as Pliny the Younger and Tacitus, examining the limited and often ambiguous information they provide about early Christians and their beliefs. Through this comprehensive examination of historical sources, the author challenges the conventional narrative surrounding Jesus's existence, raising thought-provoking questions about the origins and development of Christianity. This book's insights offer a fresh perspective on a pivotal figure in history and invite readers to reconsider the foundations of their own beliefs. 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. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330647592_0
