Jesus is the central figure of Christianity. Christians believe that he was (and still is) divine. Since the time in which he lived, a number of noted individuals have criticised Jesus, some of whom were themselves Christians.
Famous quotes containing the words criticism of and/or criticism:
“However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Good criticism is very rare and always precious.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
