Жизнь Иисуса

Joseph Ernest Renan's Life of Jesus depicts Christ not as a deity but as an idealized man. Renan insists that Jesus was born in Nazareth, not Bethlehem, in the family of Joseph, an artisan. His name sounded like Yoshua. The ethnic origin of Jesus Renan does not undertake to determine, since in addition to the Jews lived in Galilee Phoenicians, Arabs, Assyrians and Greeks. The biblical "brothers of the Lord" are cousins from Sister Mary. Tanakh (Torah and Prophets) Jesus learned in Aramaic translation. The philosophy of Philo of Alexandria influenced the formation of the worldview of Jesus. At first, Jesus hatched plans for a Jewish rebellion, but the defeat of Judas the Galilean forced him to understand authority more allegorically. After the death of Joseph, the family of Jesus moved to Cana, the homeland of Mary. The originality of the new religion lay in the poetic identification of God and the Father. Ritual religion was replaced by moral preaching. A significant, albeit harmful, influence on Jesus was John the Baptist, whom Renan sees as a follower of Buddhist monks. His own teaching - the Sermon on the Mount - he delivered in Capernaum. In 32 he went to Jerusalem for the last time. The Life of Jesus is a book by Ernest Renan dedicated to Jesus of Nazareth. Published in 1863. The Life of Jesus is included in The History of the Origins of Christianity (History of the First Centuries of Christianity, 1864-1907), which consists of seven books. Her publication was a wide success with readers, causing heated discussions, protests from the Catholic Church and criticism from scientists.
