Overview

Excerpt from The Book of Jubilees: Translated From the Ethiopic One of the most marked features of theological research in our day and decade is the intense interest which char acterizes the work in biblical theology, technically so called, and in this department no auxiliary branch has been more productive of good results than has been that discipline called History of New Testament Times, or the study of the times of Christ as to their religious, moral, and social features. The aim of such study is to repro duce, as far as possible, the exact picture of Christ's earthly career in the midst of all the agencies which influ enced him and upon which he exerted his influence; in other words, to understand Christ's words and works with their true historical background and surroundings. It is a line of investigation that has produced, indirectly, such masterpieces as Weber's System der altsynagoga/m palr'z's tz'zzz'sckm Theologz'e (leipzig, and, directly, such as Edersheim's Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, as also the two Neu T csz'ammtlz'c/ze of Schiirer and Hausrath, as well as many other works, smaller in dimen sions and more closely circumscribed in scope, while the spirit and method of this research is felt in every fibre of the leading exegetical and historical works on biblical subjects. The object of all this study is to produce an accurate and truly historical picture of Christ and Chris tianity.
