In an age when old faiths are loosening their hold on us and new superstitions, like spiritualism, occultism and Christian Science, threaten to imprison our minds afresh, to inquire carefully who Jesus of Nazareth was, what were his real aims and ideas, what were the means at his command for realizing them, how the great institutions connected with his name originated and grew up. This is what Conybeare aimed to do in this book in as simple and straightforward a manner as possible, without ambiguity, but also without sarcasm or mockery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
