First, the article analyses Jesus\u2019 speech about love, and then the focus is on Jesus\u2019 harsh language and teaching. After that the article analyses reactions of different people and groups on his language and teaching. Based on this analysis, in the final section the article compares Jesus of the gospels with the distorted portray of Jesus that is sometimes present in contemporary Christianity. The conclusion that is made is that contemporary Western culture has distorted the image of Jesus from the gospels and has created modern Jesus which in his speech and teachings reflects today\u2019s dominant values. However, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, and we should be very careful to follow not some \u201ccontemporary Jesus,\u201d but Jesus of the gospels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong><br \/>\nJesus of the Gospels;\u00a0contemporary Jesus;\u00a0postmodernism;\u00a0political correctness;\u00a0God\u2019s love;\u00a0sin;\u00a0harsh language;\u00a0and teachings<\/p>\n<p class=\"al-j\"><strong>Hr\u010dak ID:\u00a0<\/strong>215607<\/p>\n<p class=\"al-j\"><strong>URI<\/strong><br \/>\n<a class=\"normal\" href=\"https:\/\/hrcak.srce.hr\/215607\">https:\/\/hrcak.srce.hr\/215607<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Review article https:\/\/doi.org\/10.32862\/k.12.1.1 Jesus of the Gospels, and Jesus of today Ervin Budiseli\u0107\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0orcid.org\/0000-0003-1743-4203\u00a0; Biblijski institut, Zagreb FullText: pdf\u00a0(225 KB) pg. 7-21 Abstract Starting from the contemporary dominant values of tolerance, dialogue, and political correctness, this article analyses Jesus\u2019 speech and teachings in the synoptic gospels in the light of these values.
