Об авторе
Rush Rhees (1860-1939) was a prominent figure in theological scholarship and education, though he is often overshadowed by his more famous namesake, the philosopher of the same name. As a theologian, his contributions lie mainly in historical Jesus research and the interpretation of the New Testament. His seminal work, ‘The Life of Jesus of Nazareth: A Study, ‘ delves deeply into the historical context and analysis of Jesus’s life, portraying a picture that aims at both scholarly rigor and faithfulness to Christian traditions. Rhees’s approach to scriptural texts is marked by careful historical critiquing, employing the methods of source criticism that were becoming increasingly important in biblical scholarship during his time. Rhees was a product of an era that sought to reconcile faith with reason, and his literary style reflects the empirical tendencies of late 19th and early 20th-century theology, characterized by a meticulous examination of documentary evidence while maintaining theological sensibilities. His work remains a valuable resource for students of theology, history, and anyone interested in the scholarly pursuit of understanding the life and times of one of history’s most influential figures, Jesus of Nazareth.
