“We have endless books about whether Jesus existed, or whether the Jesus we have learned about is really accurate and historical or mythical. We have endless complicated tracts on fine technical issues, but we don't explore Jesus' way to happiness and peace, or try to understand his feelings about God and creation of how he views our relationship with God, or his attitude toward human weakness. Understanding these things could help us immensely in our own search for inner peace and a meaning to life.” WayTryingHumansBookHelpingFeelingsJesusUnderstandingViewsAttitudeChristianityIssuesCreationFineWeaknessHistoricalComplicatedInner PeaceEndlessChristian LifeAccurateOur RelationshipRelationship With GodMeaning Life Author:Joseph Girzone

“It is quite likely ... that the central figure of the gospels is not based on any historical individual. Put simply, not only is the theological "Christ of faith" a synthetic construct of theologians, a symbolic "Uncle Sam" figure, but if you could travel ... back to First-Century Nazareth, you would not find a Jesus living there.” IfsFirstsJesusIndividualChristAtheismCenturyFiguresHistoricalPositive AtheismUnclesConstructsTheologianSymbolicTheologicalSyntheticNazarethUncle Sam Author:Robert M.

“There is nothing more negative than the result of the critical study of the life of Jesus. The Jesus of Nazareth who came forward publicly as the Messiah, who preached the Kingdom of God, who founded the Kingdom of Heaven upon earth, and died to give his work its final consecration, never had any existence. He is a figure designed by rationalism, endowed with life by liberalism, and clothed by modern theology in an historical garb.” GivingEarthJesusHeavenResultsExistenceStudyAtheismModernFiguresNegativeDiedHistoricalFinalsCriticalPositive AtheismTheologyKingdomsLiberalismKingdom Of GodMessiahKingdom Of HeavenRationalismConsecrationNazareth Book:The Quest of the Historical Jesus Source: The Quest of the Historical Jesus
“The study of the Life of Jesus has had a curious history. It set out in quest of the historical Jesus, believing that when it had found Him it could bring Him straight into our time as a Teacher and Saviour. ... But He does not stay; He passes by our time and returns to His own... He returned to His own time, not owing to the application of any historical ingenuity, but by the same inevitable necessity by which the liberated pendulum returns to its original position.” BelieveDoeFoundJesusStudyTeacherAtheismPositionReturnOriginalsHistoricalPositive AtheismCuriousInevitableOur TimeApplicationQuestsLiberatedSaviourIngenuityOwingPendulumsHistorical Jesus Author:Albert Schweitzer
“Like every man who appears at an epoch which is historical and rendered famous by his works, Jesus Christ has a history, a history which the church and the world possess, and which, surrounded by countless memorials, has at least the same authenticity as any other history formed in the same countries, amidst the same peoples and in the same times. As, then, if I would study the lives of Brutus and Cassius, I should calmly open Plutarch, I open the Gospel to study Jesus Christ, and I do so with the same composure.” IfsMenWorldShouldCountryJesusChristChurchStudyJesus ChristHistoricalEvery ManAuthenticityMemorialEpochComposureCassiusBrutus Author:Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire

“This is not a matter of subjective theory, but of plain, historical fact. If there had never been a nation of Israel, there would have been no patriarchs, no prophets, no apostles, no Bible and no Saviour.
