Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Jesus Idea: A Study of the Real Jesus
It is a significant fact of our day that the Gospels are only now coming into their own. This may seem very strange, but it is undeniably true. With the Reformation, the Bible may be said to have come into its own; especially the Pauline writ ings. Unfortunately, the exigency of the situation necessitated a certain obscuration of the Gospels and their message at that time. This, our age is happily ending, and the effect upon the life and the thought of the world will be, we believe, as marked and lasting ultimately as that of the earlier Reformation; for Jesus' Idea will be seen to be the very essence of Christianity, and this will compel a thorough-going readjustment along many lines - intellectual, ecclesiastical, social, industrial and economic.
In conclusion, the writer would acknowledge his great oh ligation to the two treasuries of scholarly opinion and research Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible, and the Encyclopedia Bib lica, and especially to the articles, The Kingdom of God, by the late Dr. Orr; Jesus Christ, by Dr. Sanday, and The Sermon on the Mount, by Dr. Votaw, in the former work.
