Credits Produced by Distributed Proofreaders
Summary "The Life of Jesus of Nazareth: A Study" by Rush Rhees is a scholarly examination written in the early 20th century. This work serves as an analytical exploration of the life of Jesus as described in the Gospels, aiming to clarify the human aspects of Jesus’ character and mission while considering the historical context in which he lived. Rhees emphasizes a non-argumentative approach, making it accessible to thoughtful readers interested in deepening their understanding of Jesus beyond conventional doctrinal interpretations. The opening of the study lays a foundation for investigating the life of Jesus by outlining the historical backdrop of Judea during his time. Rhees details the political situation under the Roman Empire, including the governance of Herod and the subsequent procurators, while also touching on the various Jewish sects such as the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Zealots. He emphasizes the importance of a human perspective on Jesus, reflecting on how his followers initially recognized him as merely a man before gradually discovering his divine nature. The introduction sets the tone for the forthcoming sections, which promise a comprehensive evaluation of Jesus's life, teachings, and impact on his contemporary society as well as future generations.
