Life Of Jesus Quotes

“Bauer's 'Criticism of the Gospel History' is worth a good dozen Lives of Jesus, because his work, as we are only now coming to recognise, after half a century, is the ablest and most complete collection of the difficulties of the Life of Jesus which is anywhere to be found.”
― Albert Schweitzer, The Quest of the Historical Jesus

“Renewal in solitude is one of the visible patterns in the life and leadership of Jesus. This was how he retained His focus, faithfulness and fruitfulness in spite of all the crisis that characterized His ministry.”
― Benjamin Suulola

“These are the things that gave [Jesus] such faith and fearlessness in His work. He knew that the call to do it had come from God, and He knew that He was immortal until it was done.

This was what made Him, with all His self-consciousness and originality, the pattern of meekness and submission, for He was forever bringing every thought and wish into obedience to His Father’s will.

This was the secret of the peace and majestic calmness that imparted such a stateliness to His demeanour in the most difficult hours of life. He knew that the worst that could happen to Him was His Father’s will for Him, and that was enough.”
― James Stalker, The Life of Jesus Christ: A Biographical Overview of the Life of Christ
