Title: JESUS. LATEST RESEARCH. TREATISE ON JESUS OF NAZARETH. VOLUME IV: Teachings and dialogue with philosophical thought Author: Jesús Fernández-Pedrera
Description:
The Culmination of a Monumental Intellectual Journey.
In this fourth and final volume of his rigorous treatise, Jesús Fernández-Pedrera moves beyond the historical "who" to explore the perennial "what"?the profound meaning of Jesus of Nazareth's message for the human search for truth and goodness. This volume functions as a fundamental interlocutor in the universal conversation of philosophy, exploring the structural "Logos" underlying the narrative and sapiential teachings of Christ.
Volume IV is divided into two comprehensive parts:
- The Essence of the Message: An in-depth analysis of the Sermon on the Mount, the "I Am" statements of John as ontological self-revelation, and the parables as a narrative epistemology that reconfigures reality.
- A Critical Dialogue with Global Thought: A groundbreaking confrontation between the ethics of Agapé and the greatest minds in history. Jesus' thought is placed in constructive tension with Aristotle's eudaimonia, Kant's categorical imperative, Nietzsche's will to power, and the existentialism of Kierkegaard and Heidegger.
Expanding beyond the West, this work builds bridges to Eastern wisdom?comparing the Kingdom of God with Buddhist Nirvana and the Tao?while examining the political philosophy of the Kingdom against modern Social Contract theories.
Fernández-Pedrera concludes by demonstrating that the figure of Jesus is the unique meeting point between history and eternity. This is not a "leap of faith" against evidence, but the most coherent conclusion of an honest, rigorous examination of history, reason, and the human condition.
