The Birth of the Gospel [Book Review]

Review of Metaphysics 11 (1):168-168 (1957)

Abstract

Completed in 1927 and published now in full for the first time, this work may be regarded as the last in a trilogy of biblical studies, of which the first two are: Der vorchristliche Jesus, and Ecce Deus. To the interpretation of the Gospel story as a racial allegory, contained in these earlier books, Smith now adds a plausibly argued account of the figure of Jesus as an idealized Jewish self-portrait. Included as appendix is "The Chronology of the Early Gnostic Sects", an ordered presentation of the evidence in Hippolytus.--E. T.
