The Life of Jesus Critically Examined
The publication of this book made the author, little known German theologian and writer, David Friedrich Strauss, famous in Europe, though his renown was than more scandalous.
“The Life of Jesus Critically Examined” touched upon a wide range of problems, but it was mainly centered around the denial of historical and other foundations of the supranaturalistic content of the gospel. According to Strauss, such content appears the result of unintentional
mythcreation, which evolved in the period between Christ’s death and the second century.
In “ The Life of Jesus”, as well as in other works, the author criticizes not the Christian religion itself, but Christian dogmata, which run counter to the contemporary knowledge.
