The Life Of Jesus: Critically Examined

More about the book

Challenging traditional beliefs, this critical examination of Jesus's life argues against the existence of biblical miracles, labeling them as myths intended to convey moral lessons. The author, Strauss, disputes the divinity of Jesus, suggesting he was a reflection of Jewish Messianic hopes rather than a divine figure. The text sparked significant controversy upon its release, with strong reactions from contemporaries. Translated in 1843 by George Eliot, it remains a pivotal work in theological discourse.
