(In preparation.) JESUS CHRIST DURING HIS MINISTRY BY EDMOND STAPFER PROFESSOR IN THE FACULTY OF PROTESTANT Translated by LOUISE SEYMOUR HOUGHTON NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS 559 5793 S993 Jee 18970 серг PREFACE I PROPOSE in the following pages to speak of Jesus Christ during his ministry. With but rare exceptions I shall carefully banish from this book all discussion of the text, every interpretation of it, theological or critical. I shall relate only established facts, or facts easy to establish, and shall permit myself to make no conjectures but such as are entirely plausible. The task as I conceive it has therefore its limit; nevertheless, it is still sufficiently complex to forbid me to embarrass it by the discussion of controverted passages. But wherever the fact is certain and the sayings of Jesus perfectly authentic, I shall make use of them, and shall endeavor to draw from them all that they actually contain. |
