- Sinopsis
- Philochristus by Edwin A. Abbott is a fictional memoir of the life of Jesus Christ and a heavily researched essay on the works of historians, Jewish writings, and Scripture. Excerpt: "Forasmuch as almost all those disciples who with me saw the Lord Jesus in the flesh, are now fallen asleep, and I am well stricken in years and daily expect the summons of the Lord; it hath therefore seemed good to me to bequeath unto you some memorial of Christ in writing; which, instead of my voice, shall testify to you of him forever. All the more need seemeth thereof because the Lord delayeth his coming."
- Acerca de Edwin A. Abbott
Edwin Abbott Abbott (1838-1926) was educated at the City of London School and at St John's College, Cambridge, where he was senior classics fellow and a college fellow. After ordination and marriage he was appointed, when only twenty-six, to head his old school, which he served from 1865 to 1889, becoming one of the most celebrated headmasters of his age. A teacher of genius, he inspired a procession of able pupils who were to make their mark in a wide range of subjects and professions; the most notable was probably H. H. Asquith, who became Prime Minister in 1908. Under Abbott the school pioneered the teaching of such subjects as comparative philology, chemistry and English literature. Besides teaching, Abbott's vocation lay in writing, which he retired at fifty in order to pursue, publishing works on Shakespeare and Bacon as well as a number of both scholarly and speculative books representing liberal views in matters of religious belief which were well in advance of the great majority of his contemporaries.
