Excerpt from The Lord of Thought: A Study of the Problems Which, Confronted Jesus Christ and the Solution He Offered
Since the publication of Schweitzer's Quest of the Historical Jesus, and of other books by writers who accept his interpretation, emphasis on the eschatological interest has characterized nearly everything that has been written about the teaching of Jesus Christ. It is now widely held that the whole thought of Jesus was governed by the belief that the end of the world was very near, or, at least, that this belief was a confusing element in his outlook. Our aim in the present study is to show that Jesus did not expect a speedy and supernatural destruction of the world, but that he did expect the termination of an order of society based on oppression - the result of his appeal to the Jews to fuse their fervid patriotism in a world embracing zeal for the God he knew to be Father of all mankind.
