The Gospel According To Jews And Pagans: The Historical Character Of The Gospel Established From Non-Christian Sources (1913)

By Samuel E. Stokes

Book Overview

The Gospel According To Jews And Pagans is a historical analysis of the New Testament gospels, written by Samuel E. Stokes and originally published in 1913. The book argues that the gospels are best understood as historical documents that were shaped by the cultural and religious context of their authors and audiences. Stokes draws on a wide range of non-Christian sources, including Jewish and pagan writings, to establish the historical character of the gospels. He explores the political, social, and religious environment of the time, and shows how this influenced the portrayal of Jesus and the events of his life. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of early Christianity, as well as anyone interested in the historical context of the New Testament.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
