Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sources of the Morality of the Gospels The object of this work may be declared in few words. It essays to give an answer to two questions which interest all who follow the advance of Christian theology, or are attracted to the comparative study of religion and morals. A vast literature has been written of late years on the doctrinal or the historical issues raised by the New Testament; and the very sacrifices which have been imposed on theologians in regard to the personality of Christ have made them more eager to exaggerate the distinction of his teaching. The critical student may welcome a careful and specific study of the sentiments ascribed to Christ in the Gospels. The two main questions which I have held in view are: (1) Are there any original or distinctive elements in the moral teaching attributed to Christ?; (2) If that teaching takes its place in the natural evolution of morals, what were the strains or traditions which we may recognize as contributory to the Christian ethic? Writers are too apt to appraise the "uniqueness" of Christ´s teaching without any close study of those other moralities which they thus assume to be inferior to that of Christ.
