Ernest Renan Libri

Alla sua pubblicazione in Francia, nel 1863, questa Vita di Gesù suscitò accese discussioni, scalpore e scandalo fino al punto di costare al suo autore la perdita della cattedra universitaria al Collège de France. La tesi sostenuta, rivoluzionaria ed eretica per l'epoca, era quella di considerare la figura di Gesù come un personaggio storico e sotto una luce umana e terrena. L'autore esamina pertanto la nascita, la predicazione e la morte del Cristo con lo sguardo, sempre partecipe e appassionato, dello storico e del filologo attento ai fatti e alle fonti. Concepita come parte centrale di una più ampia e successiva Storia delle origini del Cristianesimo, la Vita di Gesù conobbe un grandissimo successo di pubblico diffondendo in pochi mesi sessantamila copie e superando nelle vendite persino Madame Bovary. «Gesù nacque a Nazareth, piccola città della Galilea, che prima di lui non ebbe alcuna celebrità. In tutta la sua vita egli fu designato col nome di «Nazareno».»

Excerpt from History of the People of Israel, Vol. 3: From the Time of Hezekiah Till the Return From Babylon This volume will Show how the work of the monotheistic prophets acquired such solidity that the terrible blow which Nebuchadnezzar dealt to Jerusalem failed to destroy it. By a miracle of faith and hope unparalleled in history, the Iahveists of the prophetic reformation disseminated along the banks of the Euphrates will bring about the return to J udea, the re-establishment of holy wor ship, the rebuilding of Jerusalem. I hope that'i may be given the strength to delineate, in a fourth volume, the train of Jewish ideas up to the appear ance of Christianity, and thus to complete the cycle of religious history which I have taken as my task. It is a hope which I scarcely ventured to nourish a few years ago. I now think that I may without presumption look forward to the completing of the work which has been the principal aim of my life.
