Description:Excerpt from The History Jesus of Nazara, Vol. 1: Freely Investigated in Its Connection With the National Life of Israel, and Related in Detail: When I was urged by highly esteemed men of science and of the Church, at home and abroad, to apply myself to the task of writing the history of Jesus, I felt both inclined and disinclined to engage in such a work. My predilection for this great department of history was decades old, as old as my student days; while my academical vocation had placed me in the border-land between the New Testament and the history of the Church. At intervals since 1860, in what was still the dawn of the new Christological agitation, yet before the infection of writing had widely spread, I had produced a series of discourses on the life of Jesus. But of late, much distorting passion has been unmistakably exhibited in this department. Right and left, men unanimously demand, not researches, but results, not history, but dogmas, and what is distasteful is suppressed or mishandled. It must be left to the yet unborn historian of the theology of the present age to give a correct account of this state of things. The man who loves rest and quietness, honour and respect, not to mention temporal favour, must consider, not merely whether he is willing to suffer, but also whether he is prepared to embitter his life, or, by humiliating compliance, to do violence to his conscience.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
