In his article in the Literary Guide, June, 1913, Professor Smith argues that only as a protest against idolatry and a crusade for monotheism could Proto-Christianity have succeeded with the Gentiles. But that was simply the line of Judaism, which had no Son-God to cloud its monotheism. Surely Jesuism appealed to the Gentiles primarily as did other Saviour-cults, ultimately distancing these by reason of organization. [268] Cp. Les Apôtres, p. 107; Saint Paul, pp. 562-3. [269] Cp.

[277] The Jesus of History and the Jesus of Tradition Identified. By George Solomon. Reeves and Turner, 1880. [278] Here Mr. Solomon, without offering any explanation, identifies Josephus's Jesus son of Sapphias, who was chief magistrate in Tiberias, with Jesus the robber captain of the borders of Ptolemais (§ 22)--a different person. I give his theory as he puts it. (Work cited, pp. 164-179.) [279] Dr. Conybeare puts it as axiomatic that Jesus always speaks in Mark "as a Jew to Jews." Thus are facts "gross as a mountain, open, palpable," sought to be outfaced by verbiage. [280] This aspect of the problem seems to be ignored by Erich Haupt (Zum Verständnis des Apostolats im neuen Testament 1896), who finds the choice of the twelve historical. [281] See the passage in Baring Gould's Lost and Hostile Gospels, 1874, p. 61; and in Herford's Christianity in Talmud and Midrash, 1903, p. 90.

Christ, p. 3) calls it a "characteristically Christian document," in an argument which maintains the early currency and general historicity of Mark.
