Paul and Jesus (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Paul and Jesus<br><br>The subject before us is by no means new, though its religious interest is ever fresh and has been revived recently and vigorously by the publication of Wrede's "Paulus." In opposition to this book a series of publications have appeared within the last few years; of these I need mention for consideration only the works of Kolbing, Kaftan, and Jlicher. In all of these we may trace more or less clearly the profound emotion which must have been aroused in every sensitive reader by Wrede's radical and uncompromising statements. Whether we are inclined or not to accept his fundamental ideas, the effect produced by his mode of exposition can only be described as staggering. We must, at any rate, submit to this impression, and attempt at least conditionally to adopt Wrede's standpoint, if we wish to appreciate the serious nature of the problem.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
