Einstein believed that the Jesus narrative is true. But we should
believe you and not him, you think?
Einstein: Excerpts from The Saturday Evening Post, in 1929":
Interviewer: "To what extent are you influenced by Christianity?"
Einstein: "As a child I received instruction both in the Bible and in
the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of
the Nazarene."
Interviewer: "Have you read Emil Ludwig's book on Jesus?"
Einstein: "Emil Ludwig's Jesus is shallow. Jesus is too colossal for
the pen of phrasemongers, however artful. No man can dispose of
Christianity with a bon mot."
Interviewer: "You accept the historical Jesus?"
Einstein: "Unquestionably! No one can read the Gospels without feeling
the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word.
No myth is filled with such life."
In view of this interview, it is understandable that Einstein is
reported to have said that Christ Jesus was the greatest of all Jews.
Have a link to this supposed information?
Didn't think so, and if you had actually kept up with the discussions
around here you would have seen actual Einstein quotes with real
references to the material.
