Life of Jesus is a classic work by Ernest Renan that revolutionized the vision of Christianity. In this book, Renan submits the Christian religion to an impartial, scientific, and objective analysis, treating this religion with delicacy and respect. The author opposes the supernatural to the exceptionality of Jesus, placing him above the Gospels. In its pages, Renan illuminates what in his opinion was a living historical cause, of eternally valid values and contrary to hypocrisy and selfishness. Renan argues that Jesus never thought of passing himself off as an incarnation of God himself, basing this affirmation in such a way that his arguments are significant for the reader.
Joseph Ernest Renan was a French Orientalist and Semitic scholar, writing on Semitic languages and civilizations, historian of religion, philologist, philosopher, biblical scholar, and critic. He wrote works on the origins of early Christianity, and espoused popular political theories especially concerning nationalism, national identity, and the superiority of white people over other human races.
