Excerpt from Jesus: An Unfinished PortraitThe sublime personality, with whose char acter, environment, and work we busy our selves in this treatise, of all heroes has suffered most, in his history and the impression he has made upon men, from the glare of his own ethical and religious grandeur, and in the minds of countless of the good and wise his marvelous genius has efi'aced his humanity, even to the extent of rendering any discussions of his limitations, however reverent, an ap parent sacrilege. Mention the name of J esus to these, and they think only of supreme creative power, of a god-man who worked miracles and wrought an infinite sacrifice, who, though poor, untaught, and without political in¿uence, social standing, armies, or carnal enforcements and allurements of any kind, called men by the thousand from busi ness and pleasure to become beggars and, per chance, to die for himself and his teachings, who awed the powerful, confounded the wise.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
