Did the Jews Reject Christ?
New York Sun.
Rabbi Gottheil is preaching at the
Temple Emanuel, the magnificent Jew
ish synagogue in the Fifth avenue, a Sc
ries of very striking sermons explaining
and defending the attitude of the Jews
toward Jesus and His teachings while
the founder of Christianity was still on
earth AS DR.. Gottheil is man of learn
ing, of much breadth of view, and a
philosophic spirit, these discourses de-
serve the careful consideration of Chris
tians. There is no bitterness in them,
and they are respectful of Christian SEN
timent and conviction.
He has pointed out that, as in the days
OF Jesus, the Jews were already widely
scattered, and the means of communica-
ton were slow and difficult, only small
minority of the race within the bounda-
ries of Judea were cognizant of the mis-
sion, the teachings, the doings, and the
very existence of the Christ. The great
majority were in complete ignorance of
His life and the manner of His death,
and therefore could not be held account
able for the tragedy of Calvary. The
New Testament in many places records
that in Judea itself, wherever He went,
He was followed by crowds. who listened
eagerly to His doctrines. He was adj
mitted into the synagogues, though His
teachings were subversive Of the pre-
vailing religion and the existing social
system; and when he drove the money
changers from the temple itself it is not
recorded that anybody rose up in oppo-
sition. He bitterly assailed the Pharisees,
the fathers of the Jewish synagogues,
and yet when He predicted the ruin of
the temple and nation, and some of the
hearers picked up stones to cast at Him,
for His protection.
This is the way in which DR.. Gottheil
reads the gospels. They seem to him to
show that the contemporary Jewish spir
it was liberal rather than otherwise, toll
Grant and receptive that the Jews re-
jected Jesus only only ''as God or part
of the Deity' AS a moral instructor
they listened to Him with respect. AS a
worker of miracles He was sure to appeal
to the popular desire, and the crowds
about him were so great that He had to
escape from them by stealth. AS the
redeemer of the world they would gladly
have accepted Him if they could have
comprehended the mystery. AS the
Messiah they neither accepted nor re-
jected Him, but waited for proofs to sus-
been that the Messiah was to be an
earthly ruler, not one who was to lead
them into the kingdom of heaven. Jesus
was loved and respected of the people
and opposed by few priests only.
When He entered into Jerusalem "He
had a royal reception, and some cried,
'Hosannah to the son of David, so that
the whole city was stirred by the tu-
multi"
This is view of the subject which
will be novel for Christian readers gene
rally. 1t is not presented in the Chris
tian commentaries on the New Testa-
ment, and yet the gospel records sustain
it. Undoubtedly, the Jews as mass re-
jected Jesus in His supernatural charac-
ter; but in that respect were they differ
ent from q large part of the leading in
tellects of our own day? The more
their intellectual training the more they
were to criticise His claims to divinity !;
but is not that the case to large extent
in the modern Christian world? The
scribes who were guardians of the public
peace were appalled, by His revolutiona-
ry doctrines. They believed that they
would utterly upset the existing social
order, break up the family, overturn the
authority of the government, and intro
duce communism and anarchy in their
place. But has not Christendom practi-
cally expressed the same belief by refus-
ing to mould society after the model of
Jesus, and by constructing it on radical
ly different and directly opposing prin-
ciples To use the phrase of St. Paul,
does it not cruelty Him afresh and con-
tinually? Let Christians ask themselves,
therefore, whether Rabbi Gottheil is not
justified in inquiring if in actual prac-
tice, they accept the teachings of Jesus
as Divine commands any more than do
the Jews. Is it not true that, like the
rews of old, they take such parts of His
system as suit their own opinions and
convenience and cast aside the rest?
