Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Realism of Jesus: A Paraphrase and Exposition of the Sermon on the Mount The paraphrase of the three chapters of the First Gospel containing the "Sermon on the Mount" appeared as one of a series of "Fellowship Manuals" published by the "Epworth Press." My thanks are due both to the "Epworth Press" and to the editors of the series of "Fellowship Manuals" for their kind permission to include the paraphrase in this volume. Its object is not to take the place of any ancient or modern translation of the "Sermon," but to express what I take to be the thoughts of Jesus in the current colloquial language of our time. There is no attempt at word-by-word translation; my motive has been to bring out as much as possible of what is suggested without adding or omitting anything. The studies which follow the paraphrase first appeared in The Methodist Times, though they have been considerably expanded for republication. I am glad to bear testimony to the kindness of the editor of that paper; he has not only allowed, but urged their reissue. The leading idea of these studies is that the ideal described by Jesus is not so much a "counsel of perfection" as the only really wholesome and natural way of life possible for men with natures like ours in a world like this; that the appeal of the Teacher is never merely to questionable theory, but to facts which all men acknowledge.
