Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved: With Some Remarks on the Passages Where These Words Are Used Here, however, some one may ask whether, by using this title, he is not placing himself above the other disciples, as held in higher regard than the rest of the twelve. The answer which can fairly be made to this question is that while Jesus loved him with a special and tender love, it does not appear that this title was given him until after the resur rection; and indeed perhaps not until years after that event, and even When a number of the old apostles may have been called to be with Christ. The title, again, must have been affixed to him by others who had heard of the especial regard in which Jesus held him. If this gospel was the latest of the four in its publication, as can scarcely admit of a doubt, it might disclose recollections which at an earlier period would not per haps have been given to the world.

Download or read book The Apostles Classic Reprint written by Ernest Renan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Apostles As regards the date of Ads, Renan, proceeding on the assumption of Luke's authorship, tentatively assigns it to about the year 80; but Schmiedel Offers the choice of two later dates. The diver gence between the third Gospel and the Ads in the matter of the Ascension of Jesus - which in the Gospel takes place on the evening of the Resurrection, in Ads forty days later - indicates that the Gospel was the earlier writing; for the lengthened sojourn on earth argues a significant development of the idea already at work in the third Gospel, that, before his Ascension, Jesus must have continued on earth to have intercourse with his disciples and instruct them.3 The date of the third Gospel is gener ally put after 70, so Ads must have been written some years later, the surest datum being the author's ac quaintance with the works of Josephus, whopublishednothingbefore 79. Finally, Schmiedel concludes that Ads must be placed somewhere between 105 and 130, or, if the third Gospel already pre suppose acquaintance with all the writ ings Of Josephus, between 110 and 130.

As to others, they are at liberty to believe what they like; but those who call themselves disciples of Jesus have no alternative but to renounce him or to accept what he says. His Court is the Court of Last Resort, for them It is just as well to remember this, in these controversial times. There are teachers and teachers, but there is only one teacher for Christians.

Download or read book Lives of the Apostles of Jesus Christ Classic Reprint written by David Francis Bacon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-19 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Apostles of Jesus Christ The materials of this work should be found in all that has been written on the subject of the New Testament history, since the scriptural canon was completed. But who is sufficient for these things 2 A long life might find abundant employment in searching a thousand libraries, and in com iling from a hundred thousand volumes, the facts and illustrations of this immense an noble subject; and then the best energies of another long life would be needed to bring the mighty masses into form, and give them in a narrative for the mind of the unlearned. What, then, is here attempted, as a substitute for this immensily 2 To give a clear, distinct, narrative Of each apostle's life, with such illustrations of the character of the era and the scene in which the inci dents occurred, and such explanations of the terms in which they are recorded, as may, consistently with the limits of this book, be drawn from those works of the learned of ancient and modern times, which are within the writer's reach. Various and nume rous are the books that swell the list of faithful and honest references many and weighty the volumes that have been turned over, in the long course of research; ancient and venerable the dust, which has been shaken into suffocating clouds about the searcher's head, and has obscured his vision, as he dragged many a forgotten folio from the slum ber of ages, to furnish the modern compiler with the rich productions Of antique lore. Histories, travels, geographies, maps, commentaries, criticisms, introductions, and lexicons, have been daily and nightly turned in the hand; and of this labor some fruit is Offered on every page. But the unstained source of sacred history! The pure well - spring, at which the wearied searcher always refreshed himself, after unrequited toils through dry masses of erudition, was the simple story of the Apostles and Evangelists, told by themselves. In this same simple story, indeed, were found the points on which the longest labor was required; yet these, at best only illustrated, not improved, by all the labors of the learned of various ages, were the materials of the work. These were the preparations of months and years; the execution must decide on their real value. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Jesus in the Talmud written by Bernhard Pick and published by . This book was released on 1913 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Scattered throughout the Talmud, the founding document of rabbinic Judaism in late antiquity, can be found quite a few references to Jesus--and they're not flattering. In this lucid, richly detailed, and accessible book, Peter Sch fer examines how the rabbis of the Talmud read, understood, and used the New Testament Jesus narrative to assert, ultimately, Judaism's superiority over Christianity. The Talmudic stories make fun of Jesus' birth from a virgin, fervently contest his claim to be the Messiah and Son of God, and maintain that he was rightfully executed as a blasphemer and idolater. They subvert the Christian idea of Jesus' resurrection and insist he got the punishment he deserved in hell - -and that a similar fate awaits his followers. Sch fer contends that these stories betray a remarkable familiarity with the Gospels - especially Matthew and John - and represent a deliberate and sophisticated anti-Christian polemic that parodies the New Testament narratives. He carefully distinguishes between Babylonian and Palestinian sources, arguing that the rabbis' proud and self-confident countermessage to that of the evangelists was possible only in the unique historical setting of Persian Babylonia, in a Jewish community that lived in relative freedom. The same could not be said of Roman and Byzantine Palestine, where the Christians aggressively consolidated their political power and the Jews therefore suffered." -- Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Jesus An exceptional value to some Of its parts. Gospels and Epistles, it is true, alike had their origin in the Christian community, and alike come to us with a certain impress of the personality of their writers. The Gospels are not unmediated reports Of the sayings and doings of Jesus, and the Epistles are an invaluable help for understanding who Jesus was and what He taught. It is doing Violence to the known facts Of the origin Of the New Testament writings to establish any sharp contrast between the Gospels and Epistles, and it is doing violence to what we actually find to be the presentation Of Christianity in these two sections Of the New Testament. At the same time, Christ Himself is the supreme authority on Christianity. His own words claim our first attention. What He teaches about God, and Himself, and the spiritual life is the regulative teaching, in whose light the teaching Of His disciples is to be interpreted.
