The Character Of Jesus by Horace Bushnell. In this expansive study, Bushnell presents Jesus as not merely a great religious teacher but a superhuman figure whose life and acts prove the truth of Christianity from within. The work argues that the four canonical biographies converge on one center: a divine character revealed in infancy, innocence in life, unswerving piety, and a mission that transcends national or sectarian boundaries. Bushnell contends that Jesus' purity and gentleness coexist with commanding moral authority, and that his claims— 'I came forth from the Father' and 'before Abraham was, I am'—are not mere vanity but self-evident proofs of his unique status. He examines Jesus' plan to establish a universal kingdom of God, rooted in the lowly and the poor, and highlights how Jesus embodies both humility and power through miracles, teaching, and suffering. The author engages critics, showing that, whether miracles are conceded or denied, the central miracle is Jesus himself, the sun around which Christian truth revolves.
