Simkhovitch uses a combination of biblical scholarship, historical analysis, and philosophical inquiry to explore these themes, and he draws on a variety of sources, including the Gospels, early Christian writings, and contemporary scholarship. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in gaining a deeper understanding of Jesus and his teachings.1925 And Two Additional Historical Studies: Rome�������s Fall Reconsidered and Hay and History. From the Preface: Problems of history are problems of understanding. Three such problems of historical understanding are treated in this book. The first study deals with the historical problem presented by the teachings of Jesus. The problem is-why such unprecedented teachings at that particular time? This study, therefore, deals, if you please, with the fullness of time. To the scientific historian everything that has happened, happened in the fullness of time and to understand intimately and realistically that fullness is the task of history. In this particular study, therefore, we are endeavoring to understand the particular circumstances and condition that make so great an historical event as the insight of Jesus historically intelligible to us. The other two studies examine the correlation between the decay of an Empire due to the decay of its agriculture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
