The Christ of the New Testament

'The Christ of the New Testament' is a profound theological study that explores the historical and spiritual figure of Jesus Christ through the lens of early Christian scripture and classical thought. Written by the esteemed critic and philosopher Paul Elmer More, this work examines the development of Christological doctrine and the unique synthesis of Jewish messianic expectations with Greek philosophical traditions. More meticulously analyzes the Gospels and Epistles to present a portrait of Christ that remains consistent with the intellectual foundations of the Greek tradition.The work delves into the dual nature of Christ, addressing both the humanity and divinity of Jesus as presented by the New Testament authors. It serves as a critical defense of traditional Christian orthodoxy against modernizing trends of the early 20th century, seeking to recover the authentic vision of the early church. Scholars and readers interested in biblical studies, religious history, and the intersection of Hellenism and Christianity will find this volume an indispensable contribution to the study of the New Testament. Through rigorous analysis and eloquent prose, More invites readers to reconsider the central figure of the Christian faith within his original scriptural and historical context.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
