""Christ and Renan: A Commentary on Ernest Renan's The Life of Jesus"" is a book written by M.J. Lagrange that provides a critical analysis of Ernest Renan's controversial work ""The Life of Jesus."" Renan's book, published in 1863, was a groundbreaking study of the historical Jesus and his teachings, but it was also criticized for its skeptical approach and its rejection of traditional Christian beliefs. Lagrange, a French Catholic priest and biblical scholar, offers a detailed commentary on Renan's work, examining its strengths and weaknesses, and providing his own insights into the historical Jesus. He argues that Renan's approach is flawed because it relies too heavily on subjective interpretations and ignores the evidence of the Gospels. Lagrange also provides a defense of traditional Christian beliefs, arguing that they are based on historical evidence and should not be dismissed as mere myths or legends. He offers a nuanced view of the historical Jesus, emphasizing his Jewish roots, his teachings on love and forgiveness, and his role as the Son of God. Overall, ""Christ and Renan"" is a thought-provoking and informative book that sheds light on the historical Jesus and the debates surrounding his life and teachings. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in biblical scholarship, theology, or the history of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
