“The office of reformer of the superstitions of a nation, is ever more dangerous. Jesus had to work on the perilous confines of reason and religion; and a step to the right or left might place him within the grasp of the priests of the superstition, a bloodthirsty race, as cruel and remorseless as the being whom they represented as the family God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, and the local God of Israel. That Jesus did not mean to impose himself on mankind as the son of God, physically speaking, I have been convinced by the writings of men more learned than myself in that lore.” MenWritingMeanHas BeensReasonMightJesusLeftNationsRaceStepsMankindDangerousSonOfficeIsraelConvincedLocalsPriestsSuperstitionsFoundingChurch And StateAbrahamSeparation Of Church And StateOur Founding FathersFounding Fathers ChristianJacobUs Founding FathersReformersFounding Fathers ReligionFounding Fathers ReligiousReligion GodIsaacFounding Fathers Anti ReligionChristianity From Founding FathersChristian FatherRemorseless Author:Thomas Jefferson
“Disgrace is a subtle, multi-layered story, as much concerned with politics as it is with the itch of male flesh. Coetzee's prose is chaste and lyrical without being self- conscious: it is a relief to encounter writing as quietly stylish as this.
