The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Resurrection of Jesus Christ: An Essay in Three Chapters The following Essay was written abroad, and presented to the Hibbert Trustees a year ago, in accordance with certain regulations, subject to which the writer had received a Travelling Scholarship under the Trust. It is now published by them, not (he presumes) as representing opinions or even a method about which a mixed body of men is definitely agreed; but rather because they consider that an open discussion of such points as are raised in the following pages, fairly conducted, can only tend to the better comprehension or at least the more strenuous pursuit of truth, wherever the truth may be. It is a maxim which the writer has heard stated ex cathedra in a German (though, as it happens, never in an English) Lecture-Room, that the student's pursuit of truth should be so unconditional as to exclude any consideration of consequences other than its own success. Such a maxim, the writer often assured himself, lighted him in those studies, some fruits of which appear in the present Essay.
