Whose Son Is Christ? (Classic Reprint): Two Lectures on Progress in Religion: Two Lectures on Progress in Religion (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Explore how ancient gospel texts were edited and interpreted, shaping core beliefs about Jesus. This book examines the ways parts of the New Testament were altered by early readers and how those changes influenced Christian doctrine. It also contrasts Christian usages with other faiths to illuminate how monotheism and the figure of Jesus were understood in different traditions.
The discussion centers on the text of the gospels, the Old Testament quotes used to “fulfill” prophecy, and how scholars re‑read passages to fit a developing portrait of Jesus. It explains why some traditional stories may reflect later interpretations rather than original events, and what this means for faith and history.
Drawing on manuscript evidence and critical readings, the work looks at examples from Matthew, Luke, and other sources, tracing how the idea of Jesus as the Messiah was formed. It also contrasts Christian views with Islamic reverence for Jesus, highlighting how different traditions honor or critique the person of Christ.
- How Old Testament quotations are used to present Jesus as the Messiah
- How manuscripts and early editing shaped birth narratives and prophecies
- Comparisons between Christian and Islamic perspectives on Jesus
- Implications for Christmas imagery and traditional hymns when confronted with critical study
Ideal for readers interested in biblical criticism, church history, and the interaction between faith and scholarship.

Excerpt from Whose Son Is Christ?: Two Lectures on Progress in Religion
Religion is an affair of the heart and becomes entwined with the affections from youth onwards, like one's native language and one's mother country. Wherever the heart is concerned, um sought interference in the affairs of others is both Objectionable and dangerous, and nothing is further from the intention of these lectures than to alienate anyone from the faith Of his fathers. The pious Israelite who, faithful to the usages of his forefathers, prays to the One Eternal who once led his people out of Egypt; the Christian who is confident of reconciliation with God his Father through Jesus Christ, his Saviour the Mohammedan who, in obedience to the precepts of the Prophet, prostrates himself in the dust five times a day before Allah, the All Merciful and Gracious - shall our Father in Heaven not be equally near to all these his chil dren, provided that they prove their devoutness by their deeds? For Without works assuredly every form of faith is dead.
