A-othe, remarkable problem in Christology
Il ,hout to be broached By Ar. Ernest von Bum
,.n Whatever Bunsen writes on the archRol-
.cr NJ relision aud Christianity Is certain to be
,.ce;yed with respectful attention BY the scholars
IT rnnone. The son OF the famous author of
nGoa io History" has long resided in London,
and the ehonorable and scholarly traditions asso-
ciated with bis name are we'll preserved In bis
remarkable work on the "MYthology Of the
pleales." This work has appeared only in
German It was Dascd upon singular and
striking work on the same subject by 7. e.
H.1burton,: Of Nova Scot1a, grandson Of the
celebrsted Judge Halliburton {''Sam Slick''), a
work much less known than it should be- MIR:
Bunseu has written book, which will be
published before long, entitled tsThe Angel
Messjah,'' in which be aims to show that
John the Baptist WAS leader of the Esscnes, that
Paul Vas an Essene, and that most OF the New
Testament is an inyesttture OF Christ with the
SYMBOLS and dogmas OF the Essenes. He con-
tends that Jesus repudiated the Esseues, and
7et is fated to pass as the tlgure-head of their
sscrifcal ascetic, and other tenets. In the
course Of his learned discussion, which have
had the pleasure Of reading in advance OF its
publication, Mr. Bunsep brings forward some
curious facts from the New Testament on which
be bases the startling theory that Jesus was not
really jew By extraction. The descent OF
Dsyii from Caleb, the kenezite, and thus from
non-Hebrevs, points to a connection. Of Jesus
With 1.-THE strangers in Israel" This he finds
confirmed BY the, fact that the four female an
cestors Of Jesus, mentioned in the eenealosies
Of Matthew, are all non-Hebrews. Although
the descent Of Thamar is not specified in the
Bible, Philo calls her 'sa s1ranger>" iDe No bill,
s. The second female ancestor, Rabab,
Or Reenab, refers to the kenites also. The
third, Ruth, the Moabite, was = descendant
from Caleb, the Kenczite- The fourth was the
wife OF Urah. Rathsheba, or Bathshua. She
,rss granddaughter of :Ahitopnel:: born ~ the
hill country OF Judah, where. the Kenitea dwelt,,
all uon-Hebrews, The name >Bathshun, or
daughter Of Shua, connects the wife of Uriah
with the Canaanite name Shua, wife Of Judah,
whose son was called Er or Ger, "the
Stranger" Also, one Of the sons Of Abraham
and bis concubine, keturah, was called Shua,
wtlcf uane, with the divine prefix, formed
Jeho-Shua, Joshua, or Jesus. Bunsen connects
this Don-Hebrew element in Israel principally
with the Medo-C -Chaldeans, the nation that ruled
