Fragments from Reimarus; Consisting of Brief Critical Remarks on the Object of Jesus and His Disciples as Seen in the New Testament Volume 1

by Hermann Samuel Reimarus

Excerpt from Fragments From Consisting of Brief Critical Remarks on the Object of Jesus and His Disciples as Seen in the New Testament The name of Reimarus is scarcely known in this country beyond a very select circle of English students, while his writings, so far as I know, have never been popularly known, nor frequently quoted by English commentators. The reason for this will perhaps become apparent to any one who will take the trouble, or give himself the pleasure, of reading this book. Reimarus is too thorough, too uncompromising, too faithful to his task, to suit the present attitude of mind and heart towards th central figure of the orthodox religion.

A display of German apostasy from the 18th century from a very influential Deist and Enlightenment Philosopher. You would think that someone who didn't believe the Bible would just ignore it as being irrelevant but Reimarus went on the attack and never stopped punching. So much of his objections are foolish but are part of the history of how for two hundred years Germany was the shining example of anti-Christian scholarship by so-called Christians.
