Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The New Message in the Teaching of Jesus
Ever. Draws from them, brings fresh life. The ebb brings new tasks; what the tide brought up, it collects, preserves, works up. In the place of production comes reproduc tion; the new is conserved, finally it be comes old, being long possessed, and the times gradually become ripe for the prophet, for the genius, who is to lift himself up and the times with him to a new development. Jesus descended from Israel's soil. One can hardly think too realistically of this, how much he was inwardly connected with the religious peculiarity of his people and their laws of development. He grew up under the in?uence of the ancient, sacred authorities of his people, the Scripture, the cult, the entire religious order of life and mode of thinking. These in?uences were especially strong about him. For according to its general nature the time of Jesus be longed on the whole to the more conserva tive and reproductive periods of Israel's his tory of religion. The synagogues were above all the places where the religious life of the Jews was moulded and fostered; in the synagogue, however, ruled the scribe and he was the keeper of tradition. No public.
