The Mystery of the Kingdom of God: The Secret of Jesus' Messiahship and Passion (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Mystery of the Kingdom of God: The Secret of Jesus' Messiahship and Passion
The attempt to write a life of Jesus, commencing not at the beginning but in the middle, with the thought of the Passion, must of necessity sometime be made. Strange that it has not been made earlier, for it is in the air!
The fact is that all presentations of the life of Jesus are satisfactory up to a certain point, - the inception of the thought of the Passion. There, however, the connection fails. Not one of them succeeds in rendering intelligible why Jesus now suddenly counts his death necessary, and in what sense he conceives it as a saving act. In order to establish this connection one must try the experiment of making the thought of the Passion the point of departure, for the sake of rendering the former and latter periods of the life of Jesus comprehensible. If we do not understand the idea of the Passion, may not that be due to the fact that we have formed an erroneous notion of the first period of the life of Jesus and so have precluded for ourselves in advance all possibility of attaining insight into the genesis of the Passion idea?
