The Life of Jesus, Critically Examined

Meer over het boek

The book challenges traditional views of Jesus by arguing that biblical miracles are mythical narratives rather than factual occurrences. It critiques the notion of Jesus's divinity, suggesting he embodies the Jewish people's ideal Messiah rather than a divine figure. Its controversial stance sparked significant debate, with some critics labeling it extremely negative. Translated by George Eliot from its fourth German edition in 1843, this work remains a pivotal text in theological discourse.
