 Ernest Renan: Life of Jesus
Renan's mother remained a Catholic to the end of her life, but Henriette lost all belief in the Supernatural long before her brother had entertained a single doubt of his hereditary faith.
According to Renan, the raising of Lazarus was a trick, planned by the subject of the pretended miracle with the aid of Martha and Mary.
Renan's reconstruction of the story of Jesus does not lack plausibility in many of its features, but he has certainly failed to present a figure worthy of any great respect.

 Are We A Nation?
What Renan meant by this is that a nation, in the words of Benedict Anderson, is an "imagined community," a group of people sharing a common story, a community by choice.
In Renan's terms, the Constitution and the case law decided under it is the evolving embodiment of our long national story; and it is a tale informed by humility, tolerance and optimism.
Renan says, "A nation never has a legitimate interest in annexing or retaining a territory in spite of itself." And he is right.

He wrote several influential histories of religion including his popular "Life of Jesus." Renan's essay on the nation is the classical text of "civic" nationalism, the French counterpoint to the "ethnic" nationalism of German writers like Fichte and Herder.
The doctrine of natural frontiers was given its definitive formulation in the course of the French Revolution, and was subsequently applied to ocher European countries, such as Germany or Italy; it was this doctrine chat fuelled the irredentist movements of the second half of the nineteenth century.
Renan's observation reflects his shock at the defeat of France by Prussia in the Franco-Prussian war, which is expressed in both major and occasional writings.

 Kurt Eggenstein: 19th Century Research about Jesus
Renan wrote in the style of a novel, and gave his imagination free rein, yet it appears that more faith was put in him than in the Gospels.
With matchless presumption, Renan believed that he had solved the problem of historical and critical analysis of the gospel story in a way that "will wholly meet the requirements of history.
Renan saw Jesus as a teacher who wanted to set up a kingdom on earth.

Ernst, a professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is not a stranger to Islam-related controversy.
Ernst has a multilayered and self-assured understanding of Islam, and his writing exemplifies a fluency in explaining it that is unique to him, even compared to better-known scholars of the religion.
Ernst is fair, however-while he admonishes the West for indulging in negative and inaccurate stereotypes of Islam and Muslims, he calls upon Muslims to participate fully in the pluralistic society the world has become.

 Nietzsche and Jewish Culture, essays edited by Jacob Golomb
Renan located the origin of Christianity with the prophet Isaiah, discarded original Israel and held nineteenth-century Jews, Israel's remnants, responsible for the death of Jesus.78 Nietzsche's position is the exact reverse.
Renan, the introduction continues, was a "supreme figure" among the scholars of his time, a simple, sincere, courageous saint, "even if judged by the teachings of the Galilean lake." To Holocaust scholars and historians of anti-Semitism, however Renan's storytelling is neither beautiful not brilliant.
Renan's Vie de Jesus, together with Edouard Drumont's La France juive, the latter of which paved the way for large-scale anti-Semitic propaganda in France, were the two anti-Semitic bestsellers in the latter half of the nineteenth century.

The crisis came as the time approached for his ordination, and disregarding the grief of his mother and the entreaty of his teacher, he left the seminary on Oct. 6, 1845, firmly convinced that he could remain true to Christ only by separating from the Church.
The great mistake of Jesus with Renan was to forget that the ideal is fundamentally ever a utopia and in conflict with the material for realization loses its purity.
The life of Renan was essentially twofold; he was, on the one hand, the serious and accurate scholar, on the other, a wit and a dillettante.

On the one hand, he quoted approvingly from Ernst Renan in a letter to his brother Theo on May 8, 1875: "To act well in this world one must sacrifice all personal desires.
Renan, whom van Gogh had quoted a few months earlier, was clearly one of the "etc." because van Gogh soon queried his brother again: "Have you done as I suggested and destroyed your books by Michelet, Renan, etc.?
In the letter in which he asked Theo if he had "destroyed your books by Michelet, Renan, etc.," van Gogh admitted that passages from both authors were well worth remembering; "but destroy them all the same," he urged.
