Excerpt from Jesus, the Christ, in the Light of Psychology, Vol. 2
Stanton collects 400 references in the New Testament to as many passages in the Old, which together he thinks define the entire career Of the Messiah from his preexistence in heaven to his resumption of a place in the Trinity at God's right hand after the Resurrection. Some Of these are very explicit in detail. If the Old Testament passages are prescriptions they leave little room for freedom. His life had been written beforehand, and Jesus in assuming Messianity had simply to assemble the specifications from their many places and contexts and order his life with fidelity to these Old oracles. From this point Of View we Should have to regard him as a studious compiler, diligently seeking cues and conscientiously following them as his rule of life. We might conceive that at some stage he realized how many circumstances in his past conformed to these rubrics, and from that point he took his life in hand to make the rest Of it conform more perfectly. Thus many a savage ruler is moulded by prescriptions that define all his Tun and H aben, his licet and non licet, and later accepts for himself these taboos and exacting customs that may make a king's life a burden with constant fear Of transgression. Some of these requirements happily are very generic, but they range from the most trivial points of etiquette to fundamentals.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes Jesus Christ's beliefs and teachings from a psychological perspective. The author argues that Jesus' dual convictions of being both the Messiah and the Son of God were not supernatural revelations, but rather a natural development of his religious consciousness. By examining the psychological processes that led to these profound beliefs, the author presents a compelling deconstruction of the traditional supernatural view of Jesus, placing his teachings firmly within the realm of human experiences and allowing us to better understand one of history's most influential figures.
