Download and read online ebook Jesus of Nazareth write by Paul Verhoeven. This book was released on 2011-11-29. Jesus of Nazareth available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Building on the work of biblical scholars—Rudolph Bultmann, Raymond Brown, Jane Schaberg, and Robert Funk, among others—filmmaker Paul Verhoeven disrobes the mythical Jesus to reveal a man who has much in common with other great political leaders throughout history—human beings who believed that change was coming in their lifetimes. Gone is the Jesus of the miracles, gone the son of God, gone the weaver of arcane parables whose meanings are obscure. In their place Verhoeven gives us his vision of Jesus as a complete man, someone who was changed by events, the leader of a political movement, and, perhaps most importantly, someone who, in his speeches and sayings, introduced a new ethic in which the embrace of human contradictions transcends the mechanics of value and worth that had defined the material world before Jesus. "The Romans saw [Jesus] as an insurrectionist, what today is often called a terrorist. It is very likely there were ‘wanted’ posters of him on the gates of Jerusalem. He was dangerous because he was proclaiming the Kingdom of Heaven, but this wasn’t the Kingdom of Heaven as we think of it now, some spectral thing in the future, up in the sky. For Jesus, the Kingdom of Heaven was a very tangible thing. Something that was already present on Earth, in the same way that Che Guevara proclaimed Marxism as the advent of world change. If you were totalitarian rulers, running an occupation like the Romans, this was troubling talk, and that was why Jesus was killed." —Paul Verhoeven, from profile by Mark Jacobson in New York Magazine

From the DEDICATION My Little Friends, Do you wish to know how the Child Jesus lived, prayed, worked, and even played at Nazareth? Read this little book. I wrote it immediately after my third stay at Nazareth, feeling convinced that it would give you all pleasure. Perhaps your mothers, and your friends, may derive pleasure from it too. That the little Jesus played with His young companions is certain. Do we not read that He grew every day " in wisdom and age and in grace with God and men"? Well, a child who is always gracious and amiable is not one who remains silent ami stiff like an archaic statue, or who would prefer to live absolutely alone. At your age, one is only agreeable when one shares in the pleasures of others, and that with the sweetness and brightness and delicious simplicity which make the charm of young natures. The Gospel expressly states that the Infant Jesus was gentle and beloved. 1 could make you understand this better if I could quote the Greek or Latin text; but these old tongues are not yet familiar to you. Not only did He play when He was young, but He was rocked in His cradle, and His mother sang to Him when He found it difficult to sleep or when it pleased Him to cry. For He certainly cried in His cradle, as you have done yourselves, and as He did, later on, when He shed tears over the grave of Lazarus, His friend, and over the unbelief of Jerusalem, His country. This may seem strange, but He willed it thus, ever since, descending from the throne of His glory, He volunteered to clothe Himself with our humanity with all its infirmities, save sin and the fruits of sin. Yes, He was cradled in the arms of a woman, this Word of God, who bore the whole world in His hand and who in His all-powerful wisdom has balanced it, Jor centuries, between His justice and His mercy. Mary sang old lullabys to Him, which came to her from popular tradition and which very probably, in Nazareth as elsewhere, are preserved and repeated in our days. Is it not natural to suppose that your mothers will like to know by what charming songs the Virgin put to sleep the Son of God? Well, then, let me own it here, that not less than you and your mothers, we men, ripened by our contact with critical and positive science, with intellectual tastes, resolved to solve the most disconcerting difficulties of history, language, and scriptural theology, obstinate workers in the religious idea, to ensure the triumph of Christian apologetics, even we find a pious interest and a sweet satisfaction in studying, after nineteen centuries, what was the early life of the little Nazarene, born to be the Light, the Saviour, and the Monarch of the world. What shall we say? A stone which is raised, an inscription which is discovered, a ruin which is identified with an old historic site, all these things excite our enthusiasm; while the study, however incomplete, of the life of old, of its usages and of its details, does not appeal to us! But in the East there is something better than dead stones; there are living customs: and to these the true archeologist has not a right to remain indifferent....

Download and read online ebook Jesus of Nazareth write by Pope Benedict XVI. This book was released on 2007-05-15. Jesus of Nazareth available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. “This book is . . . my personal search ‘for the face of the Lord.’” –Benedict XVI In this bold, momentous work, the Pope––in his first book written as Benedict XVI––seeks to salvage the person of Jesus from recent “popular” depictions and to restore Jesus’ true identity as discovered in the Gospels. Through his brilliance as a theologian and his personal conviction as a believer, the Pope shares a rich, compelling, flesh-and-blood portrait of Jesus and incites us to encounter, face-to-face, the central figure of the Christian faith. From Jesus of Nazareth: “. . . the great question that will be with us throughout this entire book: But what has Jesus really brought, then, if he has not brought world peace, universal prosperity, and a better world? What has he brought? The answer is very simple: God. He has brought God! He has brought the God who once gradually unveiled his countenance first to Abraham, then to Moses and the prophets, and then in the wisdom literature–the God who showed his face only in Israel, even though he was also honored among the pagans in various shadowy guises. It is this God, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the true God, whom he has brought to the peoples of the earth. He has brought God, and now we know his face, now we can call upon him. Now we know the path that we human beings have to take in this world. Jesus has brought God and with God the truth about where we are going and where we come from: faith, hope, and love.”
