Synopsis
Excerpt from The Early Christian Conception of Christ: Its Significance and Value in the History of Religion; Expanded From a Lecture Delivered Before the International Theological Congress at Amsterdam, September 1903
IT is to the great and abiding credit of the scientific theology of the nineteenth century that it has learned to distinguish between the Christ of Faith and the man Jesus of history, two entities which have been identified by ecclesiastical dogma. By means of careful and toilsome critical investigation it has been shown how the dogma of the God-man gradually took form, precipitated as it were from the intermingling of religious ideas of various origin with the reminiscences of the early Church concerning the life of her Master.

The Early Christian Conception of Christ (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the transformation of Christ from a historical man to a divine figure as perceived by the early Christian community. The author argues that the idea of Jesus as a divine figure emerged from a complex blend of Jewish, Greek, and Roman concepts prevalent at the time. The author traces the evolution of three primary views of Christ: as the Son of God by divine adoption, as a divine being who became incarnate as a man, and as a man who was miraculously conceived by the Holy Spirit. The book offers a comparative analysis of these views in relation to other religious traditions, such as the idea of divine sonship in Judaism and the concept of divine incarnation in Hellenistic philosophy. By examining the historical and cultural context of early Christianity, this book sheds light on the complex and multifaceted nature of Christ's divinity within the beliefs of the early Church. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330225769_0
