Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Primitive Christianity and Its Non-Jewish Sources Of the various demands that have lately been made upon Theology in name of the religious-historical method, there is none so well known as the demand for an inquiry into the dependence of primitive Christianity upon other religions. Nor can any serious objection be offered to this on the ground of principle: for the truth of an idea or the value of an institution is surely altogether independent of its origin. Moreover, it is quite conceivable a priori that, like the Israelitish and Jewish religion, whose influence is self-evident, other religions also have left their mark on the oldest form of Christianity, even when it felt itself in the keenest antagonism to them. And accordingly at the present day these inquiries are in such favour that many will think it premature if they are now to be provisionally summarized, or futile if they are to be not only carried to a further stage, but also subjected to criticism. Perhaps, however, the mode of procedure can be improved where it has erred in any point of detail or of principle. I have just said that the dependence of primitive Christianity upon the Israelitish and Jewish religion is self-evident, and that consequently a fresh demonstration of this connexion is unnecessary. But that religion (and indirectly, therefore, Christianity as well) may have been influenced by still other religions, which must be dealt with if our treatment is not to be one-sided. So far, therefore, as they concern Christianity in any degree, I shall examine also the influences to which the Israelitish and Jewish religion may have been exposed, but not those which would affect only the Old Testament or later Jewish literature.
