Note 6 — Chapter XIX · THE HISTORY OF THE DISCUSSION
Reading edition
Supposing that only a half—nay, only a third—of the critical arguments which are common to Wrede and the “Sketch of the Life of Jesus” [by Schweitzer] are sound, then the modern historical view of the history is wholly ruined. The reader of Wrede’s book cannot help feeling that here no quarter is given; and any one who goes carefully through the present writer’s “Sketch” must come to see that between the modern historical and the eschatological life of Jesus no compromise is possible.6
