Jewish Artisan Life In The Time Of Jesus According To The Oldest Sources Translated From The Third Revised Edition By Rev Bernhard Pick PDF Download

Excerpt from Jewish Artisan Life in the Time of Jesus: According to the Oldest Sources It is a circle of young mechanics whom I address, and I may well take it for granted, that there is none of you who does not daily bow his knee in the name of Jesus. For this very reason I could apprehend that the choice of my theme might not only atter an unentitled pride of the mechanic, but also wound your Christian conscious ness. But I do not apprehend this. You well know that the same Jesus whom we adore is the exalted One. In that glory, which is the reward of his self-humilia tion, he is exalted infinitely above all the earthly relations which he entered, and through which he passed. If we consider the state of his self-humiliation apart from his exaltation, only a false awe, an undue delicacy, could prevent us from making the statement of the Nazarenes both the starting-point and end of our attempt in con sidering the relation of Jesus to handicraft in connection with the history of his times.
