Excerpt from The Witnesses to the Historicity of Jesus The present work is an abbreviated and amended version, for English readers, of the volume which the author recently published as the second part of The Christ-Myth (English translation, 1910, Fisher Unwin). The author described this part as "an answer to his opponents, with special reference to theological methods," and dealt in the early part of it with the theological critics who had assailed the results and the methods adopted by him. It will be seen that the fault of method is entirely on the side of the opponents, and that theologians can maintain the historical reality of Jesus on methodical arguments only when their methods are pre-arranged to load to that result. It is not the author's intention wholly to omit the points of this controversy, as in this respect there is no difference between the theologians of Germany and those of other countries. The chief aim of the work, however, is to collect, examine, and refute the arguments which are advanced on the theological side for the historicity of Jesus. In spite of their arrogant behaviour, the German theologians have not been able to produce one single decisive reason for the historicity of Jesus. It remains to be seen whether the English authorities can adduce better proof of the validity of the Christian belief than their German colleagues have done. Besides doing this necessary critical work, it is hoped that the book may also provide a better explanation of the rise of the Christian religion than historical theology, as it is called, has yet afforded.

'The Witnesses to the Historicity of Jesus' is a religious themed book by agnostic author Arthur Drews. Drews writes this book in an effort to debunk the myth of the historicity of Jesus of the Bible. He seeks to demonstrate that the various non-Biblical sources commonly used to give further weight to the existence of Jesus as claimed in the Scriptures, are in fact further evidence of his non-existence.

Excerpt from The Trial of the Witnesses of the Resurrection of Jesus The company met at the time appointed: But it happened in this, as in like cases it often does, that some friends to some of the company, who were not of the party the first day, had got notice of the meeting; and the gentlemen who were to de bate the question, found they had a more nume rous audience than they expected or desired. He especially who was to maintain the evidence of the resurrection, began to excuse the necessity he was under of disappointing their expectation, alleging that he was not prepared; and he had persisted in excusing himself, but that the strangers who per ceived what the case was, offered to withdraw, which the gentleman would by no means consent to: They insisting to go, he said, he would much rath er submit himself to their candour, unprepared as he was, than be guilty of so much rudeness, as to force them to leave the company. Upon which one of the company smiling said, It happens lueki ly that our number is increased; when we were last together, we appointed a judge, but we quite forgot a jury, and now, I think, we are good men and true, sufficient to make one. This thought was pursued in several allusions to legal proceedings, which created some mirth, and had this good effect, that it dispersed the solemn air which the mutual compliments upon the difficulty before-mentioned had introduced, and restored the ease and good hu 3 mour natural to the conversation of gentlemen. The judge perceiving the disposition of the com pany, thought it a proper time to begin, and called out, Gentlemen of the jury, take your places; and immediately seated himself at the upper end of the table: The company sat round him, and the called upon the counsel for Woolston to begin.

Excerpt from Jewish Witnesses That Jesus Is the Christ Indeed, to be truly consistent, we should give no instruction at all; since all instruction, in so far as it is received, gives a decided bias to the mind. If a man believes his religion to be true, it is the thing of all others which he is bound to enforce on the mind of his pupil; if he does not believe the religion he professes to be true, then, certainly, he had better leave religious instruction to be communicated by some one else.

Excerpt from Observations on the History and Evidences of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ But as the resurrection's having been fully proved to the apostles, though absolutely necessary, yet is not of itself sufficient to authorize at this time and establish the faith of a Christian, I imagined, that what I had alreadywritten would be imperfect, at least, if not al together useless, unless I added some arguments and reasons'i had'to offer, to 'induce us, who live at the distance of seventeen hundred years from the date of that miraculous event, 'to believe that Christ is risen from the dead. These reasons, therefore, I have thought proper to subjoin under two heads, viz thetestimony of the chosen Witnesses of the Resurrection recorded in-tlie Scriptures, and the Existence of the Christian Religion.

Excerpt from The Jesus of History The idea of the present work was suggested to me many years since by the sermon of a popular preacher still living. He was combating the various excuses for not receiving the Gospel which he supposed might be urged by difi'erent classes of his audience, and, among others, that of not being able to hear the very words of Jesus and to witness his mighty acts. In answer to this he drew a picture of Jesus as a man of humble station and poor attire, surrounded by a few followers of the same condition in life as himself, and then asked if those Who now refused to believe the report of his life would have been likely to have recognized his real dignity beneath these humble appearances. The half-formed purpose, however, of attempting a life of Jesus for the purpose of depicting him from the point of view of his contemporaries was almost at once renounced, not more on account of conscious incapacity, than because of the apparent impossibility of fusing the various evangelical narratives into a clear and consistent whole. And I was content to look upon it as a work that might one day be accomplished by some more competent enquirer.

Excerpt from The Trial of Jesus Christ: A Lecture in Two PartsThe Hebrew Law also provided that no person Should be subjected to a torturing or lingering death. It also provided, that no charge should be considered as preferred against a man until two witnesses had sworn to the commission of the offense, and had identified the person who committed it. It also pro vided that the witnesses upon whose testimony a person was convicted in a capital case, that is, of a crime punishable with death, should cast the first stone, and I suppose it was on this provision of the Hebrew Law, that Christ based his remark, when he said to the men, who were accusing the woman, Let him who is without sin, first cast a stone.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Historic Christ in the Faith of to-Day I. One of the elements of modern religious life to be greatly prized is a widespread desire to learn all that can be known of Jesus of Nazareth. Every attempt to meet this need of a reliable representation of the facts about Jesus must be based upon pro longed criticism of the historical sources, combined with recurrent contemplation of His Person. The Gospels must be appraised, or they will never be appreciated. Evasion of free inquiry, either on the pretext of the sanctity of the books or the majesty of their subject, excites a corrosive suspicion that the history cannot be trustworthy. Even now an opinion is abroad that we cannot be sure of the truth of the Gospels; and with it mingles an impatience at endless, abstruse inquiries which lead nowhere. From all sorts and conditions of men there comes a loud demand for frankness from competent scholars. While there can be only a limited num ber of men intellectually equipped for dealing with the recondite problems arising out of the Synoptical and Johannine literature, there is a growing multitude who feel themselves held by the soul's quest for Jesus Christ. The following study, therefore, aims at showing how one of the multitude who seek for this supremely important knowledge, having been guided by an honest, earnest impressionism, has gained the satisfaction of a reconstructed con ception of the world's greatest, most loving and Divine Teacher. Jesus is no spent force; He is still luring men forward by His gracious, strong personality. The rigorous criticism to which the Gospels have been subjected has resulted in a vindication of their substantial historicity. Tnixlike a new thought of Jesus rises from the fires of criticism, andwe see this indestructible Person more clearly than any generation since the time of the Apostles. How He lived and died, what He believed and taught, can be discovered with greater certainty and lucidity by reason of the work done by scholars and critics.
