Synopsis
Excerpt from Did Jesus Write, His Own Gospel?: An of in a Study in Gospel Origins
The Republic of Letters has a reputation for hospitality and a laurel for every deserving brow. In such a faith I seek to bring to your attention the formal utterances Of a great literary Master. If Literature be the worthy expression Of ideas through the medium Of formal language, then has my Hero a claim to your interest. Hitherto He has been ao claimed as a Master Of oracular and vocal ex pression; and in this capacity His genius has stamped itself on twenty centuries and many races, until His utterances have become almost as basic to our common thinking as have the facts and similes Of nature herself. In this re spect, Jesus of Nazareth has no compeer; the ratio Of proverb and moral axiom to the totality Of His teaching is marvelous. In part this is due to the supreme position accorded Him; yet far more to the clarity Of expression, the Vigor Of truth, the insight into human need, and the enduring simplicity Of His chosen likenesses.

Did Jesus Write, His Own Gospel?: An of in a Study in Gospel Origins
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges conventional thinking around the historical Jesus by introducing the idea that Jesus of Nazareth was a gifted poet and logian. The book situates the Gospels within the literary and socio-cultural norms of the time, arguing that oral and written traditions were essential to the codification of Jesus' teachings. The author's analysis reveals the Gospels to be a collection of oracular poetry that was later transformed into a more conventional prose narrative. The examination of Jesus as a profound and intentional literary figure allows new insights into his teachings and offers a fresh perspective on Christian doctrine. Through a nuanced understanding of the historical context, the book provides compelling evidence for the idea that Jesus was a literary genius, enriching the understanding of his parables and logia and their relevance in the present day.
