Bousset, Wilhelm. Jesus; tr. by Janet Penrose Trevelyan; ed. by W. D. Morrison. *$1.25. Putnam.
A book which “is a study of the mind of Jesus in its relation to the Jewish circle of His time, with its ideas and ideals, and also to the larger world of humanity.” (Ath.) “Bousset rejects the miraculous from the Gospel story and regards it as a later accretion. The only wonderful works of Jesus which he considers genuine are His miracles of healing. ‘His healing activity lies entirely within the bounds of what is psychologically conceivable.’” (Hibbert. J.)
