A Sketch of the Character of Jesus: A Biblical Essay (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from A Sketch of the Character of Jesus: A Biblical Essay
Long before there existed a catholic, that is, a dominant Church, Christian thinkers separated into two main directions, of which one was, step by step indeed, but always irresistibly, overpowered by the other. The strict J ewish-christian ten deney considered Jesus as simply a man, a highly to be hon oured reformer of Judaism, who had improved and purified the Old Testament law, fulfilled and realised the prophecies. The gentile-christian tendency, on the other hand, beheld in him a person endowed with divine power and dignity, who, until into the fourth century, was mostly held to be sub ordinate to the supreme God and Creator of the world; but in the course of further conflicts the conviction gained the ascendancy that he was of perfect equal being with the su preme God and Creator, even true and highest God, and that his true humanity was no hindrance to his uniting in himself all the attributes of the true Godhead.
