Description
Excerpt from The Pharisees and Jesus: The Stone Lectures for 1915-16 Delivered at the Princeton Theological Seminary
Tragedy Of Jesus. He is a loyal and humble believer in Jesus as the Son of God, the Messiah of promise, the Saviour from sin. And yet, and all the more, he claims that he is competent to weigh the evidence concern ing the grave issues between the Pharisees and Jesus. The question is not one of mere academic interest, but vitally afiects the historic origins of Christianity. Cer tainly the Pharisees form the immediate theological and historical background for the life and teaching of Jesus, and cannot be ignored by any one who wishes to understand the problems that confronted Christ in His effort to plant the true Kingdom of God in the hearts of men.
Fresh discussions continue to appear in spite, partly because, of the vast literature concerning both Jesus and the Pharisees. In The Expositor for June and July 1918 Canon Box has luminous articles on Scribes and Sadducees in the New Testament.'' In The Expositor for January and February 1919, Pro fessor Marmostein discusses Jews and Judaism in the Earliest Christian Apologies.'' Jewish scholars often manifest genuine interest in Jesus. Abrahams (studies in Pharisaism and the Gospels, 1917, p. Viii) accepts on the whole ''the picture of Pharisaism drawn in Germany by Professor Schuerer and in England by Canon Charles.'' That is progress at any rate. Abrahams also has the insight to see (p. 16) that Jesus was more than an Apocalyptic, but ''was also a powerful advocate of Prophetic Judaism.'' He properly emphasises the freedom of the synagogue that was accorded Jesus, but denies (p. 13) that the Sanhedrin haunted and hunted Jesus everywhere.
