The Consciousness of the Historical Jesus by Austin Stevenson Pdf

In this book, Austin Stevenson argues that it is not the 'divinity' of Jesus that causes problems for historians, but his humanity. To insist that Jesus was fully human, as both theologians and historians do, still leaves us with the question of what it means to be human. It turns out that theologians and historians often have different answers to this question on both a philosophical and a theological register. Furthermore, historians frequently misunderstand the historiographical implications of classical Christology, and thus the compatibility between traditional beliefs about Jesus and critical historical inquiry. Through close engagement with the thought of Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–74), this book offers a new path toward the reconciliation of these disciplines by focusing on human knowledge and subjectivity, which are central issues in both historical method and Christology. By interrogating and challenging the normative metaphysical assumptions operative in Jesus scholarship, a range of possibility is opened up for approaches to Jesus that are genuinely historical, but not naturalistic.

The Quest of the Historical Jesus by Albert Schweitzer Pdf

The Quest of the Historical Jesus is a review of all prior work on the question of the "historical Jesus" starting with the late 18th century. The author points out how Jesus' image has changed with the times and with the personal proclivities of the various authors. He concludes with his own synopsis and interpretation of what had been learned over the course of the previous century. The author takes the position that the life and thinking of Jesus must be interpreted in the light of Jesus' own convictions, which he characterizes as those of "late Jewish eschatology", and that Jesus defies any attempt at understanding him by making parallels to the ways of thinking or feeling of modern men. In Schweitzer's view, Jesus genuinely believed that his ministry would bring about the end of history and did not see any prolonged period elapsing between his time on earth and God's final judgment. Contents: The Problem Hermann Samuel Reimarus The Lives Of Jesus Of The Earlier Rationalism The Earliest Fictitious Lives Of Jesus Fully Developed Rationalism—Paulus The Last Phase Of Rationalism—Hase And Schleiermacher David Friedrich Strauss—The Man And His Fate Strauss's First "Life Of Jesus" Strauss's Opponents And Supporters The Marcan Hypothesis Bruno Bauer.

A Secret History of Christianity by Mark Vernon Pdf

Christianity is in crisis in the West. The Inkling friend of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, Owen Barfield, analysed why. He developed an account of our spiritual predicament that is radical and illuminating. Barfield realized that the human experience of life shifts fundamentally over periods of cultural time. Our perception of nature, the cosmos and the divine changes dramatically across history. Mark Vernon uses this startling insight to tell the inner story of 3000 years of Christianity, beginning from the earliest Biblical times. Drawing, too, on the latest scholarship and spiritual questions of our day, he presents a gripping account of how Christianity constellated a new perception of what it is to be human. For 1500 years, this sense of things informed many lives, though it fell into crisis with the Reformation, scientific revolution and Enlightenment. But the story does not stop there. Barfield realised that there is meaning in the disenchantment and alienation experienced by many people today. It is part of a process that is remaking our sense of participation in the life of nature, the cosmos and the divine. It's a new stage in the evolution of human consciousness.

From the Historical Jesus to the Cosmic Christ: A Paradigm Shift of Consciousness by Rev Lisa Potter Pdf

Reverend Potter holds that there is a great esoteric knowledge hidden in the Christian Gospel in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ about the evolution of the human race and its ultimate goal. This esoteric knowledge is also found in ancient cultures of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, India, Greece, and Rome. Here can be found the belief of a pre-existent archetypal Cosmic Christ or God-Person. Jesus, being a recipient of this knowledge, achieved in his lifetime for humanity a "New state of being," a "New humanity," to which we are all heirs. Teilard de Chardin referred to this new state of being as Christ's "third nature," meaning that his human and divine natures transcended into a third realm that is neither human nor divine but cosmic. Chardin refers to this process of transformation as the Christification (Divinization) of humanity. Reverend Potter believes that the ultimate goal of humanity is to birth this "Cosmic Christ" or God-Person, this Kingdom of God within all, as Jesus refers to it. This Cosmic birth is a shift from terrestrial life to universal life where humanity realizes its Oneness with all creation. This new "Cosmic birth, this Kingdom of God within achieved by Jesus Christ, to which we are all heirs as he foretold, is the Principle of the Godhead active in history and can be seen working in and through the Israelite people and speaking through the great Biblical patriarchs and prophets. This principle of the Godhead can be seen moving in and through all the great religions of the world in every age. Buddhists refer to it as "becoming the Bodhisattva" or "becoming the Buddha." The Yoga and Vedanta traditions of Hinduism refer to it as "Self-realization" or "God- realization." Sufism of the Islamic tradition refers to it as "becoming an adept or master on the path," by finding the inner Way. Jewish Kabbalah refers to it as "achieving personal development and Self- realization based on the Tree of Life (Map of consciousness). Primordial people referred to it as "all my relations." In the New Testament, Paul speaks of this as the Mystical Body of Christ. This Body embraces the whole of Creation and is the Body of a true realized and awakened humanity as foretold in the Book of Revelation, the book that closes out the Bible. The world, including Christians, has yet to understand the fullness of Jesus Christ's revelation for humanity. This book is an attempt to understand more fully the meaning and purpose of his revelation for the human race while looking at the revelations of other world religions and sacred teachings. We live in a time when the earth itself and all its creatures are in peril because of humanity's disregard for or lack of understanding of the cosmic laws that govern the universe. The most fundamental question for Christians and people in general today is what happened to the body of Jesus after his crucifixion. Did Jesus die a physical death, or was his physical body transformed into another cosmic state-a state that he declared is the goal for the human race?

Jesus Beyond Nationalism by Halvor Moxnes,Ward Blanton,James G. Crossley Pdf

The study of Jesus has rarely looked at its own scholarly context, at how the representation of Jesus might be shaped by those who study him. 'Jesus beyond Nationalism' examines how - since the beginnings of historical Jesus studies in the nineteenth century - representations of Jesus have been used to promote hegemonic or mono-cultural views. The ideology behind such representation has operated to deny difference in society, difference in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. Examining depictions of Jesus in a range of contexts - from the Russian Christ and Jesus as 'Holy Anarchist' to Jesus in Muslim thought - Jesus Beyond Nationalism reveals the politics behind the ways in which Jesus has been constructed and presented.

The Consciousness of Jesus (Classic Reprint) by Horace Mellard Du Bose Pdf

Excerpt from The Consciousness of Jesus Christ that the evangel was uttered, but, rather, that men should receive Christ and live into his conscious being, as he in the house of his humanity lived into the con scious life of the Father. A too great ex bibit of the detail of the earthly walk of Jesus would have defeated the exclusive ends of that which was written that, read ing, we might believe, and that, believing, we might be saved. A strictly scientific study of the consciousness of Jesus would fall short of the ends at which we aim. Every thoughtful student of modern-day theological literature has noted the too fre quent absence of both the spirit and the letter Of subjective inquiry from the methods of criticism. The critics have contented themselves with examining the aspects of the Old and New Testament Scriptures rather than looking deeply into the spirit and pur pose of their writers. Stress is laid upon his torical accidents, textual peculiarities and difficulties, rather than upon the tremendous facts symbolized by, and latent in, the writ ings, whose peculiarities and difficulties are.

Summary of Albert Schweitzer's The Quest of the Historical Jesus by Everest Media, Pdf

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 German theology has produced the most accurate and thorough critical analysis of the life of Jesus, and it has laid the groundwork for future religious thinking. It has not yet reconciled history and modern thought, but it has opened up a new path for the world. #2 Early Christianity was right to live entirely in the future with the Christ who was to come, and it preserved only a few of Jesus’s sayings and a few of His miracles. It escaped the inner division described above by abolishing both the world and the historical Jesus. #3 Early Christianity was right to live entirely in the future with the Christ who was to come, and it preserved only a few of Jesus’s sayings and a few of His miracles.
