Without robbing boyhood days of their naturalness and reality, we
may be sure that long before Jesus knew how and why he differed
from his fellows he felt more or less clearly that they were not
like him. The resulting sense of isolation was a school for
self-mastery, lest isolation foster any such pride or unloveliness
as that with which later legend dared to stain the picture of the
Lord's youth. -from "The Growth of Jesus" This fanciful 1900
"biography" of the central figure of one of the world's great
religions is based as much upon the author's faith as it is any
Scriptural or historical sources-indeed, Rhees calls it more "a
study rather than a story... a companion to the reading of the
gospels." Believers will find comfort in Rhees's soothing,
authoritative prose, but this is a vital work for all those who
seek to understand the complex society of contemporary
Christianity. RUSH RHEES was the third president of the University
of Rochester. He wrote extensively on ethics, philosophy, and
religion; among his works are Wittgenstein and the Possibility of
Discourse and Without Answers.
