The Antichrist: The Period From the Arrival of Paul in Rome to the End of the Jewish Revolution (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Famed French scholar Ernest Renan examines the first century of Christian history. The Christian / Jewish struggle is seen as the backdrop to grand revolutions occurring throughout the Roman Empire.Ernest Renan was first to introduce into France a legitimate school of Biblical skepticism, the result of which was to obtain a broader and more logical basis for New Testament criticism. His priestly education, his separation from the Church without rupture, his tremendous memory, and his complete knowledge of the Eastern and European languages made him a scholar who could contemplate the past while he absorbed the present.
