Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jesus, the Christ, in the Light of Psychology, Vol. 2 Stanton collects 400 references in the New Testament to as many passages in the Old, which together he thinks define the entire career Of the Messiah from his preexistence in heaven to his resumption of a place in the Trinity at God's right hand after the Resurrection. Some of these are very explicit in detail. If the Old Testament passages are prescriptions they leave little room for freedom. His life had been written beforehand, and Jesus in assuming Messianity had Simply to assemble the specifications from their many places and contexts and order his life with fidelity to these old oracles. From this point of View we Should have to regard him as a studious compiler, diligently seeking cues and conscientiously following them as his rule of life. We might conceive that at some stage he realized how many circumstances in his past conformed to these rubrics, and from that point he took his life in hand to make the rest of it conform more perfectly. Thus many a savage ruler is moulded by prescriptions that define all his Tun and H aben, his licet and non licet, and later accepts for himself these taboos and exacting customs that may make a king's life a burden with constant fear of transgression. Some of these requirements happily are very generic, but they range from the most trivial points of etiquette to fundamentals.
