| Summary: | According to Albert Schweitzer, Jesus of Nazareth adopted the belief of Second Temple Judaism in an earthly resurrection and in a kingdom of God on earth.

The main objective of this contribution is to explain the supposed eschatological belief of the synoptic Jesus as an understandable misinterpretation of otherworld experiences. This error would not have militated against Jesus being an inspirational model of humanity. |
