The biography presents Jesus as a fully human figure, emphasizing his wisdom and use of parables while portraying him as clever and opportunistic. As the narrative progresses, Jesus becomes increasingly enthusiastic and fanatical, ultimately allowing himself to be killed. Renan's perspective sparked controversy, especially given his background in the Catholic Church, leading to his dismissal from a prestigious academic position. This work, the first in a series exploring the history of Christianity, remains a classic, offering a unique interpretation that continues to provoke discussion.
