Publisher's Synopsis

Strauss examines the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and provides a critical analysis of their contents.The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the life of Jesus Christ, from his birth to his death and resurrection. Strauss analyzes the historical accuracy of the events described in the Gospels, and provides his own interpretation of their meaning. He also examines the miracles attributed to Jesus, and questions their authenticity.The second part of the book focuses on the development of Christianity after the death of Jesus. Strauss examines the role of the apostles in spreading the message of Jesus, and the formation of the early Christian Church. He also discusses the development of Christian doctrine and the role of the Church in shaping Christian beliefs.Overall, The Life of Christ: A Critical Examination of His History is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the life of Jesus Christ and the development of Christianity.
