Jesus Christ: His Times, Life, And Work by Edmond De Pressens� presents a nineteenth?century apologetic defense of the supernatural basis of Jesus’s life, resisting naturalistic and pantheistic trends and situating Jesus within the long religious history that preceded him. The work argues that miracles are not violations of nature but God’s sovereign action, and that the life of Jesus must be studied against the backdrop of history and religion rather than as an isolated dogma. It portrays Christianity as a divine rehabilitation of humanity, rooted in a free, personal God who intervenes through a costly self?gift. The Gospel, the author contends, is the culmination of a broad “preparation of history” in which Judaism, pagan religions, and philosophy prepared the world for the Messiah. The volume surveys the ancient Near East and classical world, traces prophetic and priestly currents within Israel, and examines Second Temple Judaism, Philo, the Essenes, and other currents that shaped expectations of the Messiah, preparing the ground for the gospel narratives. It outlines major sections on the supernatural debate, Jesus among past religions, Judaism in decline, Alexandrine Judaism, and Judean sects, and offers a devotional?historical account of Jesus’s life and the beginnings of the Church.
