{"product_id":"2940014948654","title":"The Real Jesus of the Four Gospels","description":"The Real Jesus of the Four Gospels by J. B. Atwater aka John Birdseye\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCopyrighted, 1921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first part of this work is a collation of all that is said, and just what is said, in each of the four Gospels, regarding the more important incidents of Jesus’ life. Every statement in the text, it is thought, is accurate, free from personal coloring or sectarian bias, and may be verified from the passages cited. After examining various lives of Jesus, harmonies of the Gospels, etc., there seemed to be need of such a work, which would furnish simply the facts, and leave the reader to form his own conclusions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCertain notes are appended in elucidation of or comment on the text, and these may be taken for what they are worth. Their underlying idea is, that the true greatness of Jesus lay in His being a human Teacher and not a Divine Redeemer, and therefore the supernatural parts of the Gospel story are not of vital importance.\u003cbr\u003eThe King James version has been used, since that has been the Bible of English-speaking peoples up to the present century, and their conceptions of Jesus have been formed from it, and not from the revised version. The differences between the two versions are probably not material to any matter herein discussed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second part is an attempt to point out, and comment on, the many and wide divergences that have grown up between the preachings of Jesus and the practices of His professed followers. Its object is not to criticize the short-comings of Christianity, but to bring home to the people of the United States a realization of the practical effect which these divergences have had, and are now having, on political and economic questions of high import to the present and future welfare of mankind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS\u003cbr\u003eMemorandum\u003cbr\u003eDedication\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003ePart 1.
